Go Build Shit

Hello there, this is my personal blog where I write about things I learn. Consider it a brain dump like a crappy wiki. I hope you find something useful here. As a developer I find it hard to make time to write, so some articles my only make sense to me while other are polished by chatGPT, especially when I think a topic is important or needs some explanation for less experienced developers. I know this is just a default astro template, but I like it and I'm lazy. I'll get around to making my own site eventually.
