## Writing

- [The Part a Person Actually Feels](https://milindmishra.com/blog/the-part-a-person-actually-feels): How three of us shipped Merlin Agent from an empty repo to a signed, notarized v1.0 on real desktops. The design system, the details nobody sees, and why making something feel like someone cared is the actual work.
- [4 Professional Years Later, Still Building](https://milindmishra.com/blog/4-years-later): A reflection on four years of growth, self-doubt, resilience, and staying in love with building products.
- [Probably the Best Work I've Done. Here's the Story.](https://milindmishra.com/blog/probably-the-best-work): A few weeks at Merlin AI building an Agentic Chrome extension with a small team. From prototype to MCP, this is how it came together and why it changed how I think about building AI products.
- [The Day I Realized Shipping Isn't Finishing](https://milindmishra.com/blog/shipping-isnt-finishing): Early in my career at Merlin AI, I shipped a feature called Prompt Enhancer. What happened next taught me that the craft isn't finished when you ship it—it's finished when someone else feels it.
