Hello, World

First post on the new site. A brief introduction and what to expect.

#meta#personal

Welcome to the new site. After years of saying I'd build a new personal website, here it is. Built with Next.js, Tailwind, and a design system borrowed from another project of mine.The design borrows heavily from the N3ONVOID aesthetic – dark backgrounds, neon accents, and a bit of glitch energy.

Why Now?

I've been writing code for a long time, but I've rarely written about it, or even made my repos public. That changes now. I want a place to share thoughts on software engineering, systems design, and the occasional deep dive into something interesting.

What to Expect

Posts here will cover:

  • AI and CodeGen - Constrained generation, diffusion language models
  • Systems programming - Rust, performance, and low-level details
  • Distributed systems - Consistency, consensus, and the hard problems
  • Developer tools - Building things that help build other things
  • Learning in public - Notes and explorations as I dig into new topics

The frequency will be irregular. Quality over quantity.

The Stack

This site is intentionally simple:

  • Next.js for the framework
  • Tailwind for styling
  • MDX for blog posts

No analytics. No tracking. No comments (for now). Just content.

If you want to get in touch, find me on GitHub (@rand) or Bluesky (@nulldivide.com).
