The author committed to writing more to preserve disappearing engineering knowledge, which often fades after meetings or project completions. Initially, they published articles across multiple platforms like Medium and Hashnode to reach wider audiences. However, the process of cross-posting became time-consuming due to manual tasks like copying Markdown, uploading images, and reconfiguring settings for each platform. This led to an engineering-minded desire to automate the distribution process.The author envisioned a service that would publish content once and disseminate it automatically to various destinations, with their website serving as the source of truth. As the design evolved, the problem shifted from simple integration to developing a common deployment model. This resulted in an architecture resembling a software delivery pipeline, where articles were treated as immutable releases.Ultimately, the author realized that the real challenge wasn't publishing but the process of thinking and idea generation. Valuable insights often stem from conversations, delayed realizations, or retrospective analyses of architectural decisions. Most writing tools focus on the final writing stage, assuming ideas are fully formed. The author's goal transformed into building a platform that supports the entire lifecycle from idea inception to publication.This platform aims to organize ideas, generate summaries, manage revisions, and map relationships between written content, rather than just storing Markdown files. The author plans to document the development of this "M²S² platform," sharing technical details and learned lessons. The project evolved from a simple cross-posting solution to a comprehensive system for capturing and sharing engineering experience, highlighting the iterative and evolving nature of good engineering.
