An important part of the job of a software engineer is to ensure that our systems operate as expected. Establishing a feedback loop between the features a team develops and how it behaves in production is one of the traits of high performing teams[^1], and the idea that "you build it, you operate it" goes a long way to alleviate a lot of the toxic interaction patterns between traditional development and operations teams.

What's the most convenient way to set up a technical blog in 2024? The fact is that in this day and age there is an almost overwhelming plethora of choices from Wordpress, to Github pages it seems that there is something for everyone.

For a long time I've been thinking about using the techlead.net domain to create my very own blog. While not terribly exciting, the reality is that this serves two purposes:

• It's a good way for me to be more disciplined in my own writing and learning process
• Become a place where I maintain a curated list of articles and resources I find relevant.

With that out of the way, I guess this is the customary Hello world post.
