Hi, I'm Shan!

I'm currently working on a new project (more details on that later).

I write about things I'm curious about:

• The collective waste caused by poor documentation
• Hidden costs of Next.js RSCs and server actions
• See my Twitter @shan_rauf

I'm a programmer by trade

I taught myself programming after a last-minute career plan change in high school. After graduating from UC Berkeley, I worked at Gumroad for a year, and now I'm working on my own projects while taking freelance gigs on the side.
