Hello, world

This is a small place for things I want to write down — notes from books, takeaways from work, ideas I'm chewing on.

It is intentionally plain. No build step, no framework, no tracking. Just HTML files in a folder, served by GitHub Pages.

Why static HTML

Three reasons:

One — it loads instantly. There is nothing to hydrate, nothing to wait for. The page is the page.

Two — it ages well. An HTML file written today will render the same way in ten years. The same cannot be said of a Next.js app from 2016.

Three — there is nothing to maintain. No dependencies to upgrade. No build pipeline to debug at midnight.

How to add a post

Copy this file, change the title and body, save it as blogs/<slug>.html, then add a matching entry to the list in index.html. That's the whole workflow.

If you want to get in touch, find me on GitHub.
