Ok, we are already in February, but I’m still trying to figure out my New Year’s resolutions.
The setup
I’m keeping the blog in GitHub Pages and using a newer version of Jekyll with a new theme.
I’m trying Obsidian as the editing tool, as suggested in this thread.
The site uses GA4 to collect basic analytics info. I didn’t find any free alternative. Feel free to ping me if you know of one.
The goal
Just to practice writing. It is a critical skill for an engineering manager and for any remote worker. Writing helps you to have more clarity, to think more carefully, and to communicate better.
It is also a good way to force me to learn: I pretend there are people reading me so I try to explain things in a way anybody can understand them. And that is one of the best ways I know to learn.
The key
Consistency. As with some many things in life. We’ll see.
