Welcome to my new blog!

This plays a small part in my journey to document my learning process, share code snippets, and generally keep track of the cool things I’m building.

Why this blog?

I’ve always believed that the best way to learn is to teach (or at least, to write it down). Whether it’s a tricky bug I squashed, a new framework I’m exploring, or just some thoughts on software development, you’ll find it here.

The Tech Stack

This site is built with Jekyll, a simple, blog-aware, static site generator. I’ve customized the default Minima theme to use the Gruvbox Dark color palette because, let’s be honest, it’s the easiest on the eyes for late-night coding sessions.

Syntax Highlighting

One of the main reasons for this setup is to share code. Here’s a quick example of how code snippets look with the new theme:

def print_hi(name)
  puts "Hi, #{name}"
end

print_hi('David')
#=> prints 'Hi, David' to STDOUT.

And here is some Python for good measure:

import os

def list_files(directory):
    for filename in os.listdir(directory):
        print(f"Found file: {filename}")

list_files('.')

What’s Next?

I plan to write about:

  • My current projects
  • Web development tips
  • Linux configurations
  • And whatever else interests me

Thanks for stopping by. Stay tuned for more!
