Hi there. This is my new technical blog.

I usually keep a blog but have got a bit lazy of the past few months with regard to keeping it up to date. I also struggled with a decent blogging platform and this morning I found https://jekyllrb.com/.

Jekyll allows me to write my blog within VSCode and push to a GitHub repository to publish it. I really like this as it fits with the workflow that I use every day in my development practices.

I like writing and having a blog for the following reasons:

  • It helps me solidify my learning by forcing me to write it down. I feel this helps fully embed the knowledge in my slightly forgetful mind.
  • It is not to show off but, if it helps others, that’s great.
  • It’s a guaranteed job interview question and I suppose it can immediately instill confidence in a prospective employer.

If you find any errors or you have an opinion you can contact me here:
