I am currently a PhD student at Berkeley, researching distributed systems.
I am currently a SWE at Google. These blogs are about my personal stuffs.
I don't write a lot (though have tons of tsukkomi). Previous unsuccessful attempts include WordPress, Jekyll, Hugo and Medium... The recurring pattern is that suddenly I get into the mood of writing something (like now), explore a new platform because I am sick of the old ones (wanting a fresh start), and write a few articles (promising myself I will keep writing) and then STOP.
This attempt may not be different, but still, worth trying, isn't it?
