I built this website using Hugo, based on the minimal risotto theme by joeroe. At this point, not a lot remains of that original theme appearance-wise, though I am endebted to it for the file structure and teaching me how to build my own Hugo theme.

This site uses zero JavaScript, both because I didn’t want to have to learn JavaScript and because I think it (or rather its overuse) contributes to modern web bloat. To that end, this site is built with pure HTML/CSS. My favorite computer I have ever owned is a Thinkpad X230 with a minimal Artix install. I want my website to be similarly streamlined.

I have been greatly influenced by the website styling of LessWrong and Gwern’s personal site, and I have shamelessly aped some of their design features to the best of my nascent ability.

I created this site to publish my writings and to be useful to people. Given that, the contents will generally reflect what I am interested in/researching at a given time, and whatever I think is useful to people.
