Why Did I Start This Blog
I have started up this blog. But why?

Why I Moved Away From Wordpress
Previously I had a website made in Wordpress hosted at this domain. I came to the conclusion that as a person studying computer science it might send the wrong impressions to have one's personal website being a Wordpress site. Furthermore, every time I actually had something I wanted to blog about, I felt put off by the fact that I
- Would have to use the awful Wordpress-editor.
- Could not easily use code or math in the posts that was formatted well.
Using the Next.js tutorial and Future Imperfect, I started building this site in React. I have since added several items so the posts can be fuzzy searched1, there is an RSS feed, and most importantly, I can easily write code
const add = (a, b) => {
return a + b
};
console.log(add(5, 10)); // 15
and inline math, , as well as on it's own line:
What I Plan to Blog About
I don't want to bind myself to a particular topic, though I promise I won't suddenly post cooking recipes. For now, my loose plans are to post about:
- Computer Science topics
- Programming tips
- ML and AI
- Automation
- macOS
Furthermore, in the more soft section I might write down my thoughts about
- Moving to a new country to study
- The value of a CS degree
- Work
- Etc.
As you could already guess, this is not an exhaustive list.
I hope you'll stick around anyway!
- Stuff like fuzzy search and category filtering is probably something I think is very nice but most people will never use it.↩
