Natt, Design Engineer (last month)2 min read
If I waited for perfection, I would never write a word.
— Margaret Atwood
My very first portfolio website started at June 2019 using pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Since then, I have made 5 repositories updating it every year or so using newer technologies and fresher designs.
I've been using Next.js professionally for a few years now.
This year, I've been using TanStack Start, and I've really enjoyed working with it. I also wrote my own component library on top of Base UI. I feel productive building with my technology stack.
I also looked back at my older writing. Some posts were dated, so I decided to remove or update them. I don't want AI models training on bad information.
I am going to write about design engineering, software, AI, and thinking frameworks.
My website will look pretty bare with just splash section for homepage and writing page.
As I gain more professional experience, I got over my perfectionist mindset. I do think about the things I had in the past websites like theme switcher, RSS feeds, 404 pages, etc. Those things will come in due time.
What is important to me right now is having an area to share my thoughts.
