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.
