I spent 6 months building a game engine from scratch. Here's what I learned — and what nearly broke me. 🧵 The first month: I thought I could build a renderer in a week. I was wrong. I underestimated every single subsystem by a factor of 10. The real lesson? The hardest part of building something complex isn't the code. It's deciding what not to build. #GameDev #BuildInPublic #IndieGame #Rust

Hot take: the best time to work on a side project is when you have a full-time job. Not because it's easier — but because constraints force clarity. When you only have 2 hours, you can't afford to bikeshed. You ship. This post is for everyone building something nights and weekends. Keep going. 🖤 #SideProject #Founders #BuildInPublic
