Hello World: What This Blog Is About

Hey, thanks for stopping by!

This is where I write about things I'm learning, building, and occasionally breaking. If you're into React, Next.js, or just enjoy watching someone figure things out in public, you're in the right place.

Why Write?

Three reasons, really:

1. Learning sticks better when you explain it. Writing forces me to actually understand what I'm doing instead of just copy-pasting from Stack Overflow (well, mostly).
2. It's a time capsule. Future me will appreciate having notes on why past me made certain decisions.
3. Sharing is caring. If something helped me, maybe it'll help you too.

What's Coming

Here's a rough roadmap of topics I'll be covering:

• React & Next.js in 2025: Server Components, the App Router, and patterns that actually work in production.
• Making Things Accessible: Because if your site doesn't work for everyone, it doesn't really work.
• Architecture Decisions: The fun part where we debate SSR vs. CSR and whether you really need Redux (spoiler: probably not).
• Project Breakdowns: Real builds, real mistakes, real lessons.

Code Samples Look Like This

Just so you know what to expect:

function Greeting({ name }: { name: string }) {
  return (
    <div className="p-4 border rounded-lg">
      <h1 className="text-2xl font-bold">Hello, {name}!</h1>
    </div>
  );
}

Nothing fancy. Just practical stuff that you can actually use.

Let's see where this goes!
