Why I'm Starting a Dev Blog

I’ve been building things for a while now — side projects, homelab infrastructure, tools that scratch my own itch — but I’ve never written about any of it. That changes here.

What this blog is

A place to document the things I build, the problems I solve, and the decisions I make along the way. Expect posts about:

• Homelab — Proxmox, Docker, self-hosted services, networking
• Projects — what I’m building, how, and why
• Dev tooling — workflows, automation, things that make development faster
• Lessons learned — the bugs, the mistakes, the “oh, that’s how that works” moments

Why now

I run a Proxmox cluster with 14+ containers, a handful of side projects in various states of completion, and an ever-growing list of automations. Every time I solve a tricky problem or wire up a new system, the knowledge lives in my head or scattered across config files. Writing it down forces clarity, and maybe it helps someone else too.

The stack

This blog itself is built with Astro, styled with Tailwind CSS, and deployed to Vercel. Posts are markdown files in a git repo. No CMS, no database, no moving parts beyond git push.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, grab the RSS feed and stick around.
