Remaking the Blog to be Relevant

A tale as old as time, but it's finally time to update my website to be relevant for 2024 and beyond. The last time I did this was just before I started working at Dropbox, which also happened to be right before Covid hit in the States. Quite a lot has changed since then.

Technical Changes

Sticking to just the technical details, the changes are:

• Gatsby -> Next.js
• UIKit -> Tailwindcss
• Contentful -> Sanity.io
• AWS S3 -> Vercel
• CircleCI -> Vercel
• Cloudfront -> Cloudflare

The biggest theme being a lot less effort on my end to maintain and support this website to make writing on it far easier. I also wanted it to be "up to date" with a lot of what the latest trends tend to be. Whether or not there's longevity in that decision is still to be determined.
