Welcome to my new technical blog! I built this using Zola with a custom minimal theme.

Why Zola?

Zola is a static site generator that:

  • Has zero dependencies (single binary)
  • Builds incredibly fast
  • Has built-in syntax highlighting
  • Supports SVG diagrams natively

Example Code

Here's some Rust code with syntax highlighting:

fn main() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
    
    let numbers = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
    let sum: i32 = numbers.iter().sum();
    
    println!("Sum: {}", sum);
}

Here is some textThis appears in the margin on desktop, or expands on mobile when you tap the number.and the sentence continues.

Another paragraphEach sidenote needs a unique id.with its own note.

This is a[1] ref

SVG Diagram Example

Here's a simple architecture diagram:

Client HTTP Server SQL Database

What's Next?

I'll be writing about:

  • System design patterns
  • Performance optimization
  • Deep dives into interesting technologies

Stay tuned!
