Luck Razor #2: Giving Luck Somewhere to Find Me

Read as Markdown

Ivory torn-paper collage with cobalt blue paths, vermilion accents, charcoal sketches and connecting dots surrounding the title Giving Luck Somewhere to Find Me.

While writing the first Luck Razor entry, I realised my blog is another example of the same idea.

Going to the Ferrari exhibition creates possibilities because I choose to show up. Keeping this website creates possibilities because something of me stays available even when I’m doing something else.

On mohit.dev, I put different parts of my life next to each other: short posts about things that catch my attention, longer pieces about how I think, and projects with a record of what I’m building.

Someone can arrive through a post about Ferrari and discover my work with AI. Someone looking at a project can find an essay about execution. Neither person needs to know everything about me before they arrive.

That matters because I can’t predict which part will interest someone.

A small observation I almost didn’t publish could be the thing another person relates to. A project update could answer a question they’ve been thinking about. A longer article could give them enough context to start a conversation.

I don’t know which of these connections will happen. I can make them easier to happen.

Leaving something people can find

A social post has a moment. It appears in a feed, gets some attention, and moves down.

Keeping a record on my own site gives that thought a permanent address. It can be linked, revisited and discovered alongside everything else I’ve shared.

The project logs add another layer. They show work over time: what changed, what I tried, and what I’m continuing to build. Someone who is curious can follow that trail.

I’ve also made the site readable in Markdown, added an RSS feed, and included a guide for AI readers. Those are practical ways to let more people and tools reach the same material.

I won’t know how every reader finds it. I still want it to be accessible when they do.

Letting the interests sit together

My interests don’t arrive in neat categories. I build software, experiment with AI, think about execution, follow Formula 1, and work on habits.

Having those things on the same site gives people more ways to recognise something we have in common.

It also lets them make connections I might never think to introduce. Someone may see a relationship between a project I’m building and a problem they have. Someone else may simply want to talk about a race.

Both are reasons to leave the interests visible.

The part I can choose

I can choose to write something down, show the work, and give it a place where it can be found again.

I can’t choose who discovers it, when they arrive, or what they do next.

That’s why this feels like Luck Razor to me. The effort is specific; the possibilities are open.

I’m not claiming the website has already produced some extraordinary opportunity. I’m documenting a choice that gives future connections somewhere to begin.

The Ferrari entry started with going somewhere.

This one starts with leaving something behind.
