Hello World! 

This site has existed since 2018, yet **write more** never made it out of the backlog. The site itself has gone through **three complete overhauls** since 2018 - chasing the right look, the right tool, the right feel. Each time I'd convince myself the theme and layout were the problem. Turns out, the writing was. I've finally landed on a Zola-based static site: lightweight, fast, and built around plain Markdown files that feel natural to a developer. No more tinkering (for now :stuck_out_tongue:).

This is my first article on the updated blog, and genuinely only my second attempt at writing.

Flush!
