Astro

I recently recreated my blog from Gatsby to Astro.

Why? My old blog in Gatsby had not been updated in a while. As a result, some npm dependencies required updating, but for some reason, my MacBook Pro (2015 model) could not have the latest OS required to build some of these dependencies. It was admittedly the first time I learned that Apple stops supporting some OS versions after a few years. It was a head-scratcher for me, but long story short, everything is fine now.

I followed the tutorials here and after a couple of hours, I was able to get everything setup with Github hosting my code and Netlify for deployments.

My goals for this blog are twofold:

1. Document learnings I’ve gained over the years of my software engineer career.
2. Learn more about TailwindCSS and play around with new JS frameworks.

Hopefully, there will be more updates coming soon.

So stay tuned!
