first post, let's see how this goes

So I finally got around to setting up a proper blog. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, somewhere to dump thoughts about code, tools I’ve been using, and things I figure out along the way.

The stack is pretty straightforward: Astro for the static site generation, Markdown for content. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done without getting in the way.

Why Astro?

I wanted something that ships zero JS by default and lets me write in Markdown. Astro fits that bill. The content collections API is solid, the build is fast, and I don’t have to fight the framework to get things done.

What to expect

I’ll be writing in both English and Portuguese since I think in both anyway. Most technical stuff will probably end up in English, but we’ll see how that goes.

Topics will probably be all over the place: web stuff, tooling, random things I spend too long figuring out. No schedule, no promises. Just writing when there’s something worth writing about.

If you’re reading this, cool. More stuff coming soon.
