# Welcome to My Blog

I'm excited to finally launch my personal blog! After years of thinking about it, I've decided it's time to start sharing my experiences, learnings, and thoughts about web development and software engineering.

## Why Start a Blog?

There are a few reasons I decided to finally take the plunge:

**Learning in Public**: Writing about what I learn helps solidify my understanding. Teaching is one of the best ways to learn, and writing blog posts forces me to really understand a topic deeply.

**Building a Knowledge Base**: I often solve problems and then forget the solution months later. This blog will serve as my personal reference guide for future me.

**Contributing to the Community**: The developer community has given me so much through blog posts, tutorials, and open source. This is my way of giving back.

## What to Expect

I plan to write about:

- Web development best practices
- TypeScript and JavaScript tips
- Architecture and design patterns
- Career advice and lessons learned
- Tools and productivity

## The Tech Stack

This blog itself is built with some fun technologies:

- **Bun** - The all-in-one JavaScript runtime
- **TypeScript** - For type safety
- **Elysia** - Fast web framework for Bun
- **SQLite** - For blog post search and metadata

I'll be writing more about the technical implementation in future posts.

## Let's Connect

If you enjoy the content, feel free to reach out! You can find me on Twitter, GitHub, and LinkedIn (links in the sidebar).

Thanks for reading, and I hope you find something useful here!
