Building a minimal website with Go
2026-01-15T12:00:00Z
Hello World
Welcome to my new personal website. As a software engineer, I wanted a place to share my thoughts and experiences without the bloat of modern web frameworks.
The Tech Stack
I decided to build this site using a custom Static Site Generator (SSG) written in Go. Why?
- Simplicity: I have full control over the rendering pipeline.
- Performance: Static files are fast. Go is fast. The build process is instant.
- Learning: It's a great way to experiment with Go templates and filesystem operations.
Design Philosophy
The design is intentionally minimal.
- Font: JetBrains Mono. Monospaced fonts are the native language of developers.
- Colors: Black and White. High contrast, easy to read, no distractions.
- Content: Markdown. Simple to write, portable, and version controllable.
What's Next?
I plan to write about:
- Go programming patterns
- System architecture
- Data engineering at Dataglitch
- And other interesting technical challenges I encounter.
Stay tuned.
