Welcome to the new site! I decided to migrate my wordpress site from AWS Lightsail to Github Pages and use HUGO to build the site.

Why the Switch?

As I learn more about software, the idea of less is more is becoming more and more appealing. I don’t really need a database, I don’t really need a server, I don’t really need a full fledged CMS.

The New Architecture

This blog is now powered by Hugo, a static site generator written in Go.

  • I could style it it to look like a terminal, which I like.
  • I want to be able to create code snippets.

# Static Site Generator
Hugo (Go-based template engine, fast HTML generation)

# Hosting
GitHub Pages (free, global CDN, easy to setup)

# Deployment
GitHub Actions (automated builds and deployments)

# Content
Markdown (simple, portable, easier version-control)

# Styling
Custom CSS (more control, easier to style)
  • I can write posts in markdown, which is easy to write and edit.
  • Github Pages is free.
  • It’s sort of a GitOps approach.

What’s Next?

I’ll be migrating any valuable posts manually to the new site. I think it will be a good excercise to revise some concepts and write about them.

A Quote to End On

“The best way to predict the future is to implement it.” — Alan Kay

This quote perfectly captures the spirit of this blog. Instead of just talking about technology, I believe in building, experimenting, and sharing the journey. Every post here will be grounded in real experience and practical knowledge, not AI slop.
