Why I build in public at 16

Shipping in public compounds skills, network, and proof — not just likes.

I share progress, failures, and real projects on X and LinkedIn.

Reasons that stick: 1. **Proof** — case studies beat empty résumés. 2. **Feedback** — strangers catch blind spots fast. 3. **Network** — clients and collabs find you. 4. **Discipline** — public promises force ship dates.

Noise is real. Filter: ship weekly, write monthly, ignore vanity metrics.

If you are young in VN tech: English docs + public GitHub still open doors.
