this is the repository for my personal blog at krtffl.dev where i document my chaotic path from physicist to chemist to software engineer.
so a physicist, a chemist, and a software engineer walk into a bar. turns out all three are me, and what we do is write about engineering stuff.
i never have enough and i want to build my own stuff. you know. my company. my product. my team. this blog documents that journey, complete with all the successes, failures, and questionable coding decisions along the way.
what you'll find here:
- technical deep dives: code samples, architecture decisions, and lessons learned the hard way
- adventures in go: because i've seen the light, and it's statically typed
- building in public: following my journey creating software that (hopefully) doesn't completely suck
this blog is built with:
- hugo - because static site generators are awesome
- risotto theme - minimalist, responsive, and rice-based
- cloudflare pages - for dead simple deployment
why this stack? because after trying django (too ugly) and nextjs (too complex), i finally found something that just works without making me want to throw my laptop out the window.
- clone this repo
- install hugo (see hugo docs)
- run
hugo server -Dfrom the root directory - visit
http://localhost:1313to see the site
push to main, and cloudflare does the rest. magic.
feel free to steal any ideas, but not the content itself. that would be weird.
because shift keys are overrated and i'm lazy. also, it looks kinda cool. i think.
