Tech Journal
2022.07.07 First Entry
This is my first journal entry. My name is Robert Devitt. I created devitt.dev as a barebones, fast-loading site to provide a simple front-facing site for my software development business.
While you may notice it is not the "fanciest" site, it is surely intentional: oftentimes the engineer or builder eventually finds beauty in simpler creations.
I have created several personal business sites in the past using Wordpress. For
anyone with experience with Wordpress, you will know the experience can degrade
very quickly as themes, plugins, and the Wordpress foundation itself becomes
outdated.
While I theorize this may be intentional to "force" the economy, it is not conducive to happy website owners who would like more confidence that their business site will last more than a year.
I believe the future is in SPAs and SSGs, or a blend of the two. They are
fast-loading, unbloated, and small in filesize when designed correctly.
I hope to add more projects in the near future using Next.js in combination with
a headless CMS.
Additionally, I hope to showcase more machine learning and AI projects here on the journal.
Thank you for reading, Robert
