A build log is not a finished article. Rather, it is closer to a record of an ongoing process. So it may look rough at first. But that roughness is precisely what makes it important.
The Role of a Build Log
A build log records what problem I was looking at, what options I considered, and why I made the decision I did.
Things that look easy when viewed only through the final result were uncertain at the time. A build log preserves that uncertainty.
The Value for Readers
Readers are more curious about “how you got there” than about a successful result. In particular, development, entrepreneurship, and learning offer more to learn from the process than from the outcome.
That is why this blog does not publish only tutorials. It also documents the decision-making process and the reasons behind failures.
