alt Hacker NewsI'm finally getting my online presence in order...
This week, I'll set up a Hugo blog with the Ed theme, love it, looks exactly what I'm looking for, and as a former LaTeX enthusiast, it's pretty close. It's readable, minimalist. I'll need to customize the theme, though. I plan to publish blog posts about anything I find interesting.

In parallel to this work, I'm setting up a simple system to keep my website + subdomains easy to build, rebuild, and deploy with Caddy on a cheap Scaleway compute server. In the past, I had some ideas I wanted to publish, but the system I went with made managing the sites dreadful.
Once that's ready, I'm back to learning Rust and crypto. It's fun, interesting, challenging, remote-friendly, and the salaries are usually 30-50% better. My current tech stack feels like a dead end: it has a low ceiling in terms of salary, the projects are generally not very interesting (I'm grateful for my current project, it's the best there is with this technology), and I believe the technology will see a slow and steady decline.
Apart from work, I'm building the playground for my 2 yo son, and planting blueberries, he loves them.

I've been having the thought that I should curate my mostly-anonymous online presence for my career. Is that why you're doing it? Curious what inspired you to do this and what steps you're taking

Perhaps a first blog entry would be to show and tell how you setup the blog with Hugo+Ed on your domain in the first place.
As someone who is being told that they need to increase their non anonymous footprint online, I certainly would be interested in reading it.
What tech stack are you currently using that you see as a dead end?
As a non-developer, I played with rust and various copilots over the last couple of months. I ended up with a backtesting engine.
Now I figured out I want to go all in actually learning rust and doing the deep dive in crypto. Enjoy the trip.
