Welcome to the new blog! This site has been rebuilt from the ground up using Zola, a blazing-fast static site generator written in Rust.

Why Zola?

After using Hugo for a while, I wanted something that:

  1. Stays fast - Zola is incredibly quick at building sites
  2. Has simpler templating - Tera templates feel more intuitive
  3. Is written in Rust - Because why not?
  4. Works well with Obsidian - My notes become blog posts seamlessly

The New Publishing Workflow

The content for this blog now lives in my Obsidian vault. When I push changes to the vault repository, a GitHub Action automatically triggers a rebuild of this site. Here’s how it works:

Obsidian Vault -> GitHub Push -> Blog Rebuild -> GitHub Pages

No more fighting with Hugo’s markdown quirks. Just write in Obsidian, push, and publish.

What’s Next?

I’ll be migrating some older content and writing new posts about:

  • Infrastructure and DevOps
  • Rust programming
  • Developer tooling
  • Random technical adventures

Stay tuned, and thanks for reading!
