Starting a New Blog
There are so many ways to spend your time. You could play sports, sleep, go outside, touch grass, have a social life, etc. Unfortunately, none of those things are things that Computer Science majors do. So, to be a true CS major, I decided to start a blog.

I don't like writing. It's boring, it's slow, and it generally takes time away from actually solving problems. That's why this site is so marvelously speckled with features and optimizations-because I don't want to actually write.
I think my feelings towards writing make my writing better. If I'm writing, there's purpose behind it. For example, I'm writing this post to test the functionality of the blog site I just spent the last 20+ hours making and the CMS system I have attached to it.
Here are the reasons for most of the writing I'll be doing (100% just to test the styling on my lists).
- Get myself more motivated to work on projects.
- Keep track of the research I do and the random things I play around with only to abandon.
- Stand out on job applications.
- Help people learn things that I spent too much time learning.
While this site and all of its content will be useless in the future other than to help train AI models, I hope it serves that function well.
Just a few final tests before I end this.
Final Tests
- Wow
- This
- Is
- A
- List
Could you believe that!?!? So neat.
Making a difference, one git commit at a time.
Anyone can be "pretty neat" as long as they have a blog. - Hayden Carpenter
