I'm happy to announce the launch of my personal programming website "Programming Insights". This is a place where I can share my thoughts, projects, and experiences I've had in the programming world. I've been wanting to create a personal website for a long time, and I'm excited to finally have it up and running.

About the name

There are 2 hard problems when it comes to programming: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-1 errors.

I had a hard time trying to come up with a good name for this website. I don't want something that has my name in it, but I also want to something that indicates it's a personal blog dedicated to programming. For now I've settled with "Programming Insights". Over the course of my 9+ years of programming, I've accumulated a lot of insights about programming, and that's where the name comes from. It may change eventually as I continue to learn, evolve and get new ideas that are hopefully better.

About the website

I built this website using Zola, a static site generator written in Rust. I chose Zola because I wanted to use Rust for my website, and Zola seemed good. I was debating on using Hugo, but it felt more thematic to use a Rust tool. Additionally, the theme I'm currently using—Tabi—is one that I approve a lot. It has a responsive design, it's easy to work with, looks good, and it has great accessibility. I enjoy using tools that care about all those details that are often forgotten.

Please enjoy the website!
