In working with AI I’ve started to differentiate tasks and knowledge in three categories.
Based on those categories I determine how to leverage AI to achieve my goals.
The three types I differentiate are:
Architectural
Tool
Domain
Architectural
With this I mean tasks and knowledge that are related to high level overviews and designs of systems and their interactions.
Examples are an initial design of a system landscape or the structural design of a new service within the landscape
I’m always battling for my own attention.
In this battle I’ve already gotten rid of social media.
I’ve installed a plugin in my browser to disable all the features that draw your attention on YouTube.
But I noticed I still grab my phone too often.
This is both when I get notifications but also during quiet moments.
When I think back on my childhood, things were a lot different.
Internet at home was relatively new and expensive.
The web was novel and innocent.
Social media was truly social.
These are all quite obvious differences.
However, a key difference that I did not think about is that you were actively online.
When playing with friends, you would ask if they would be online that evening.
Being online was not a given.
Being online meant being at home being a computer with a few minutes boot time and dialing into the internet.
Being online was an activity.
In this post I will talk about the tech behind this blog.
I have set this up with the static site generator Hugo.
This is a great tool for creating blogs.
It is written in Go and is very fast and efficient.
I can write my content in markdown and it will be converted to HTML by hugo.
This conversion is done beforehand and not on the host server.
This is great because it means the actual host server does not have to do any heavy lifting.
It simply serves the static HTML, CSS and javascript files.
Welcome to my new website.
This site will be a place for me to experiment with different content and technologies,
share thoughts with the world, showcase my work and most of all just do whatever I feel like at that moment.
About Me
I am a software engineer working from the Netherlands.
Most of the time, I keep myself busy with various projects, trying out shiny new things and learning new skills.
Outside of that I will be outside touching grass and enjoying nature with my dogs.
