Link Blog in a Static Site
One of my 2025 resolutions is doing things that don’t scale and doing them faster without overthinking. The idea is to focus on doing more while worrying less about scalability and sustainability in the things I do outside of work. With that in mind, I’ve been thinking for a while about tracking some of my out-of-band activities on this blog. The goal is to: List the things I do, books and articles I read, and talks I grok. Add some commentary or quote something I liked from the content, verbatim, for posterity. Not spam people who just want to read the regular articles. Not turn into a content junkie, churning out slop I wouldn’t want to read myself. This isn’t about getting more eyeballs on what I publish. It’s about tracking what I do so I can look back at the end of the year and enjoy a nice little lull of accomplishment. Plus, having a place to post stuff regularly nudges me to read more, explore more, and do more of the things I actually want to do.
This blog is just a static artifact generated by Hugo with a minimalistic theme and some custom CSS flair. If you don’t mind maintaining a dynamic site, Simon Willison has a great piece on how he handles his link blog. To avoid spamming people, the entries in the link blog are filtered out of the main RSS feed.
