There’s a bit of an unspoken adage in software development that goes a little something like this…
If you’re not embarrassed by code you wrote 6 months ago, you aren’t growing.
And I’ve never found this to be more true than when I take another look at my personal website. You see of all my projects, my personal site is the one that I’m forced to come back to time and time again. That’s because it’s my own little corner of the internet. It represents my style, my ideas and my projects. It’s mine.
So you can understand how a personal website is something that needs to be capable of growing with it’s creator, and that’s why I’m writing this article. I’m writing it because my site is about to evolve into a much better iteration of itself and I want to document that journey.
Why Build A New Website?
I’ve thought about this question a lot. Ideally, I wouldn’t be building a new site at all. Ideally I’d just work off the current site and slowly add more features onto it, but I’ll tell you why this is hard and why I need to redesign it right here:
- I was a much newer developer when I designed this site.
