Redesigning my personal blog

This blog is a static site generator implemented with a lightweight Go backend built on mux. It’s my first foray into using Go. As someone who’s primarily coming from Java world, it’s a nice change of pace that feels a bit more modern without being too alienating.

This whole thing was vibe-coded in about 30 minutes or so with Zed. I’ve been using Zed for a bit for hobby projects and I’ve found it to be a first-class editor. Even as Cursor has grown to be the AI-assisted editor of choice for many developers, I’ve found no reason to switch in terms of personal development.

Instacart does have a pretty generous personal development stipend, so I decided to use it to spring for a Claude Pro subscription. Zed just introduced support for Claude Code via its ACP protocol in September, so I decided to take that for a whirl.

So far, so good.
