What are you working on? Any new ideas which you're thinking about?

I'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.

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.
