Hi!

First long-format for this blog, documenting my journey building it. I'm quite happy to be finally doing this, and what better time to start than a Saturday morning at 6am after researching the topic all night.

Why this website​

Keeping myself up-to-date with static websites generation tooling, oh and, because I want to write stuff down and share on the Internet, sometimes, as some sort of an archive for my life adventures.

The struggle leading to Docusaurus​

In the past 20 years, I've iterated many times over building personal websites (or for the plethora of projects where I told myself "This needs a website!"). It all started by learning HTML in the early 2000s with the help of my mother (who was working as an IT administrator, IBM AS/400 Operator and later administrating the intranet of an international shipping corporation, quite a cheatcode to learn CS as a kid!) to PHP when I wanted to do more advanced websites for my private WoW & Lineage 2 servers, and of course the plenty of CMS and forum softwares that exists (ever heard of Joomla?).

Of course, Wordpress would be the easy choice, it's mature, battle-tested, has a massive community and ecosystem allowing you to do pretty much everything you want with, and I even have an entire set of Kubernetes charts made for a previous project, meaning I could have a production ready instance deployed in 30min. But we're not here to make things easy for ourselves, today we do my favorite sin: we over-engineer (kinda).

Welcome to my website / blog!​

While I've always been writing throughout my life, I never really went through the effort of making a place to centralize and share what I want to make public ever since my last blog written in php in the mid 2000s.

After experimenting for a little while with different approach (running a plain old Wordpress would've worked, but that's boring), I've finally went through the effort of making this on top of Docusaurus. My first exercise for this blog is actually to write the process I went through for its inception.

I hope to publish various kind of content, mostly centered around my passion for engineering from hardware to software, gaming, creator ecosystem and various other topics that may peek my interest.

Hope you like it!
