This is the first post on the blog — mostly a smoke test to confirm Jekyll
builds, GitHub Pages serves, and the theme doesn’t embarrass itself.
Why a blog?
A few reasons, in rough order of honesty:
- A place to think out loud without the algorithm deciding who sees it.
- Forcing function — writing a thing down is the cheapest way to find out
whether I actually understand it.
- An excuse to own a little patch of the web again.
What to expect
No fixed schedule, no fixed topic. Probably some mix of:
- security engineering war stories and post-mortems
- infrastructure and tooling notes
- short opinions that didn’t fit anywhere else
A code block, because every first post has one
def greet(name: str) -> str:
"""Return a polite greeting."""
return f"hello, {name}"
if __name__ == "__main__":
print(greet("world"))
And a shell one, for good measure:
# rotate the thing
curl -sS https://example.com/token \
| jq -r '.value' \
> ~/.config/app/token
chmod 600 ~/.config/app/token
A subsection
Just so the TOC has something to render at level 3.

If you’re reading this, the pipeline works. More soon.
