The very first post to test how well does this blog behave!

I built this blog after learning the hard way that there's no need to reinvent the wheel—I started with a ready-made Markdown renderer, pivoted to a custom NextJS frontend, and finally landed on a professional Astro-based starter that perfectly fit my needs. The real magic, though, comes from my custom backend: a dedicated CMS with a WYSIWYG editor, multi-cloud hosting, and an intelligent pipeline that uses LLMs to generate summaries and AI image prompts for eye-catching headlines, all while keeping the actual content authentically human-written. It's a perfect blend of professional tooling and creative automation that lets me focus on what matters most—writing great posts.
