building this place (whatever this is)
a short note on the architecture & intent behind this site
This is a new software, security, & systems work notebook.
The site has two public faces. Your core domain is an index and portfolio while your blog is a subdomain, which presents more rudimentary.
both portfolio and blog runs off the same next. The typography, metadata, and deployment are shared between them with no prescriptive common identity.
why split the address
the portfolio consists of finished canon; the blog is allowed to be unfinished. By splitting them up, it becomes clear to anyone reading the page what will differ.
the posts are stored in local markdown files only and there is a simple hostname change to differentiate the two. The metadata that you create generates rss, canonical links and sitemaps.
what belongs here
You expect words about the craft of creation, system literate prose, and all the nuance that loses somewhere in between. Notes about things made, things read, and things left done will be here. These posts will be a mix between technical deep dives and introspective reflections on the production of the work itself.
