I have gotten to the part in my software engineering career where I create a “blog” and …. write about things I make, supposedly. Maybe I’ll be really, really cheesy and name the first post “Hello, World!”
Well, speaking of things that I have made: this website! I wanted to play with Astro. It’s one of many Javascript frameworks out there. Astro’s quirk is that it has a heavy emphasis on content. It is built from the ground up to support server-side rendering, hydration, all that nonsense. I thought it would be perfect for a website like mine.
“Just use Medium/WordPress/Blogger/etc.”
Eh.
Again, I like to just build stuff myself. I don’t need to make money. I supposed some basic analytics would be nice to have.

I took a break from writing to go ahead and implement Google Analytics.
