Welcome to my blog!

Here I am writing the article content directly into an Angular component, not a great idea.

However, I recently watched a good talk on the "Serverless Mindset" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rzv68K8ZOY), which got me thinking that I'm not here to make a blog, I'm here to build out some cool shit, and write about it in the process. As a result, I'm trying to get this "blog" up with as little fuss as possible, then get onto what I really want to do.

I'm not sure what I want to do first, I've got a few things on my mind:

• Do I build this blog? And if so, what's the tech to build it in? I've started here using Angular because I like the framework, but React has many more "off-the-shelf" solutions that would allow me to get running quickly, and writing these articles in Markdown rather than HTML. I'm also far more proficient in React than Angular, so there's the added cost of learning new things.
• Move my currently "in-progress" WordPress plugin over to Docker (it's currently Vagrant/Ansible), and finally publish it.
• Build out my "bills" app; a basic calendar-style web-app that shows upcoming bills and provides monthly breakdowns of costs, using a microservice/event driven architecture written in Go.

In reality, I want to do all of them. But time will not permit such actions, and so I must choose one (for now).

I'm going to go with the WordPress plugin, as it's potentially something that will make me $$, whereas the others are just areas of interest.

Stay tuned for my next installment, where I get this work underway.
