Why am I blogging?

Why am I blogging?

This is actually the second entry of my blog, but I want to state that the main reason on why I decide to start blogging or just writing my thoughts in public is because of:

  • Recommendation from a book (Soft Skills: The Software Developer's Life Manual by John Sonmez), suggests that a blog is a helpful tool in a software developers career
  • This blog also serves as my personal website, which is something I always wanted to have since I start my journey as a software and web developer, and have procrastinated it for quite a few years
  • I hope to post some guides or tutorials about apps, technologies, languages or anything I found useful and has helped me that will help other people as well, I wish some of my posts to become a useful resource for other people and help them solve some of their current problems or show the path to a solution

How is this blog made?

This blog is made in Next.js with the help of Payload (a cool cms), the database is PostgreSQL and that's pretty much it.

The styles are made with Tailwindcss and RadixUI, I use this combination to have more control over my components without risking accessibility issues.

If you wish to take a look at the source code you can find it in my GitHub profile, here's the link to the repository https://github.com/Wichosu/wichosu-website
