With the switch to Hugo, I wanted a place to test the syntax highlighting that comes with Chroma. This is that place, and we’ll use the classic “Hello, World!” example in various computer languages I have used in one way or another, past or present. Of course, let’s over-engineer it by having some pipelines do the output. Origin The phrase “Hello, World!” was popularized by “The C Programming Language” by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie in 1978, which featured a simple C program printing the message to the screen. However, its first known use was in an internal Bell Labs tutorial by Kernighan in 1974. Over time, this phrase became the universal starting point for programmers learning a new language, representing the excitement of writing and executing their first successful program. ...

I originally built this site using Astro, which worked well… until it didn’t. When I finally got around to writing a new post, the deployment pipeline failed due to breaking dependencies. A quick upgrade to the latest major version didn’t go as planned, and instead of wrestling with it, I decided to switch to something simpler. Enter Hugo — a pure static site generator known for its speed, simplicity, and minimal dependencies. While migrating, I also created a custom theme based on PaperMod. Say hello to term, a lightweight, terminal-inspired design that keeps things clean and minimal. ...

A couple of months ago I stumbled upon the npm package husky. It provides a way to hook into various git hooks and brings some nice opportunities in improving DX. After having husky and a few hooks in some various git projects, I thought it would be a fun mini project to make these hooks into a separate npm package: @jeliasson/husky-hooks was created. This npm package aims to increase the developer experience and consistency by providing a set of hooks that can be opted-in the development lifecycle. It depends on husky for pre-commit and pre-push hooks, and a few other zero/low dependency packages. ...

After seeing some posts about self-hosting on Heroku and Render I got inspired and decided to take a swing at writing about Self-hosting RedwoodJS on Kubernetes. If you are a serverfull person who likes to get your hands dirty with Docker, Kubernetes with GitHub Actions - this read might be just for you. Heads-up though; It’s quite a lot of config. 🤓 Also; while this is a working implementation that currently supports a production application (maybe a future #show-tell), it leaves some decisions to make on your part. That being said, let me know if you want me to elaborate on some topics and I’m definitely down to make this implementation better. ...

Time, Set, Go! This sets the starting point for a brand new personal blog on the internet. It will primarily be focused around tech, space, games and random stuff. Time will tell. ⏲️ Why now and not in year 1999? Now is the perfect time have an over-engineered stack to build and deploy a personal blog. Tech We use Astro, which so far seems like a neat JS framework in the sea of JS frameworks. The layout and it’s components uses a mix of Svelte, React and Astro - and the articles are written with markdown syntax. When pushing code, it’s built as a SSG page and deployed to the edge of Cloudflare Pages for blazing fast speeds ✨ ...
