    Rebuilding My Blog

    I’ve always had a homepage or a blog of some sort, and I’ve always enjoyed tinkering with it.

    My first few sites and blogs were built on an old platform called Freewebs (RIP), which I used to host my very first website when I was about 8 years old.

    Over the years, especially as I’ve become more competent at this web development thing, I’ve rebuilt my blog a few times.

    Ecto Queryable Pattern

    Ecto queries are just data! This post goes over how we can abuse that fact to build ergonomic, composable query patterns.

    NixOS, BTW

    I fell deep into the Nix ecosystem after years of distro hopping, and it completely changed how I manage my machines.

    NixOS lets me reproduce my entire environment across laptops, workstations, and servers with a single configuration repo.
