Genesis - The WTFe Moment
Every blog has an origin story—this is mine.
I love writing about the stuff I work on, but let’s be real —time and priorities have always been the boss battle. But now? We’re in the era of AI. One night, just as I was about to crash, a wild idea hit me like a rogue segfault.
AI could take care of all the boring, mind-numbing tasks, while I dive headfirst into the wild, unpredictable, and insanely fun creative madness?
Boom 💥. Neurons fired 🧠. Sparks flew ⚡. And in that moment, WTFe happened—like a glitch in The Matrix.
Do I know exactly what I’ll write? Nope. Do I know how much time I’ll commit? Also nope. But that’s the fun part—I’ll figure it out as I go, and maybe, just maybe, some of you will be part of the madness too. 😉
Tech stack
For once in my life, I wanted NOTHING to do with React, Next.js, SASS, or any of that “enterprise” stuff—that’s my day job. This blog? This is my playground.
I wanted to write whenever inspiration struck—whether I was on my laptop, my phone, or some ancient relic of a computer at my grandma’s house. No setup, no build times, no excuses.
So, the choice was easy: Markdown.
No fancy frameworks. Just plain text, ready to go, anywhere, anytime. After digging around for inspiration, I landed on 11ty + Markdown—and suddenly, it felt like I was back in my college days, hacking away in raw HTML and stacking CSS like a mad scientist. Old-school, retro, and refreshingly simple.
And honestly? I don’t mind re-living those days for a change.
So that’s it. WTFe?!
