Why have this blog?

Because sharing is learning

I started this blog as a way to document and share the things I have learned and found useful in my journey as a software engineer.

Writing and noting things down is a great way for me to solidify my understanding of new concepts and technologies, and I hope that my blog can be a helpful resource for others who are interested in web development, eCommerce, and related technologies.

I would be highly appreciated if you could leave your comments and thoughts on what I have written .

Tech stack

This blog is hosted on Vercel, built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS using Tailwind Nextjs Starter Blog.

A huge thanks to Timothy Lin for the minimal, lightweight, and super easy-to-customize blog starter.

A few major over-engineering-changes from the original repo:

  • Upgrading to React 18, Next 13
  • Adopting Typescript, committing with Conventional Commits
  • Monitoring site with Umami website analytics
  • Theming in dark mode with Github dark dimmed colors for better contrast
  • Making a lot of changes to the UI, new homepage design, adding ProfileCard, CareerTimeline components, adding /snippets, /resume page, etc.
  • Bumping up mdx-bundler, rehype/remark plugins and dependencies to the latest version

See my repository for this blog.

The legacy version built with Gatsby can be found here.
