So this something I wanted to get live and start writing right away.

Lately I’ve wanted to move fast and think about the details later.

I love to at least get something on the screen regardless of what I’m I’m working on. LLMS make that process quick. I knew I wanted a minimalist blog something with just markdown and images and also didn’t want to pay much or anything at all and wanted the hosting to be a breeze.

ChatGPT first tried pushing me down the Firebase route. Luckily I know enough to know that there was an even faster easier and also free option which was hosting to Github pages. It gave me the project structure for a Jekyll blog. The nice thing is Github pages handles Jekyll blog with out any installations on your end. Once you make the repo a Github Pages page it creates a deployment action and pushing code takes care of the rest. The entire setup took 5 minutes.

I’m very happy with my quick win. I can make it pretty and fix layouts and automate a few more things later. Right now I’d just like to say hello world and I’m glad to be writing again even if almost no one will ever read this.

What I think my focus will be in this blog is what I’m learning about living with LLM’s a software developer and how it has extended my reach, made me faster and also allowed to me venture into other domains beyond just writing code.

Quick note

This blog is powered by GitHub Pages + Jekyll, and I’m writing posts in Obsidian.
