Making this website
This website was made with AI. That's unusual for me - in the past I've always coded my personal websites by hand.
It hurt a little bit to give this up, but I want to try and start prioritizing speed more. My biggest problem has always been not having enough time to do the things I want to do, and so when tools exist to speed more menial tasks up, I should probably use them.
I have a running folder of personal websites that I like, and this website was particularly inspired by two of them: the super minimalist website of Galen Mead and the very beautiful website of Jia Chen.
Note that although the metaphor on the homepage is from Minecraft, I actually only played Minecraft for about a year when I was younger.
Also note that my older website is still almost all hand-coded. It feels like hand-coding has now become an art form, and practicing it is sort of meditative.
Finally, note that I really need to get back into the practice of daily writing, so posts like this flow better and are not just lists of notes.
