Every blog starts somewhere. Mine starts with a plain-text greeting:

echo "Hello, world"

Why

I've wanted a place of my own on the web for a while. Social platforms are great for reach and terrible for permanence — posts get algorithm'd into oblivion, links rot, and your "content" is really just borrowed land.

A personal site is the opposite: a folder of plain files, owned outright, pushed to a server, and served with no tracking, no dark patterns, and no timeline.

What to expect

• Occasional writing about software, mostly from the trenches.
• Notes on retro interface design and why it still feels right.
• Links to the small projects I'm willing to admit exist.

That's it. No newsletter popup. No cookie banner. Just text.

const promise = new Promise((resolve) => {
  resolve("see you around");
});

promise.then(console.log);
