As you guys know, I've been stuck between a rock for months now with zero motivations to write anything. When I started my blog, I was caught up with too many other things at once that I left some of my articles largely unfinished. The motivation is gone but since I already wrote them first, I still have that feeling of obligation to see them finish. I just want to write things that I love right now, not the things that I was motivated before. With that said, I'm starting over and hopefully finish something.
The site now runs on NodeJS runtime that has better performance than PHP which the old website was made of. I've been planning to migrate to a NodeJS implementation once I learned the framework as I want to distance myself from the PHP ecosystem. It was not inherently bad, given that PHP is sufficient enough to solve most problems but it was a very closed ecosystem that only specializes in web development and it's a more like a hack than anything. I'm no specialist and I want a leaner tech stacks going forward (maybe just C and Javascript for now).
