My First Blog Post

Hey, the site is alive! 👋

After way too many tabs open and one too many config tweaks, this blog is finally up. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while — having a small corner of the internet that’s actually mine, not buried inside someone else’s platform.

I went with Hugo and the PaperMod theme. Clean, fast, no database or hosting issue.

Why Hugo though?

Honestly? I didn’t want to deal with a CMS. I write in Markdown anyway, so the whole flow just clicked — edit a file, push, and the article is live. Hugo builds the entire site in under a second which is the best part what I liked the most.

No server to manage. No plugins breaking on updates. Just markdown files which is already hosted on GitHub.

A quick Go snippet

Hugo is written in Go, which I find neat. Here’s the classic:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
  fmt.Println("Hello from Hugo!")
}

And the two commands which you need when working with hugo:

# Spin up the dev server
hugo server -D

# Build for production
hugo

What’s coming next

I’ll be writing articles related to backend, databases, microservice, etc. I hope you’ll like them.

Till next time, Happy Coding!
