The blog now runs entirely on markdown files checked into the repo. That was intentional. Pull requests double as editorial review, and the build system produces static HTML optimized for the edge.
bash
pnpm lint && pnpm build
If the pipeline passes, the post is guaranteed to be production ready. No surprise API outages, no dynamic rendering costs, and a fully cacheable experience on the edge.
The author metadata lives beside each article. If a guest writer contributes, we add their details to the front matter and ship. The defaults keep my voice present, but the system scales beyond me.
