About This Blog

The Blog

TechDev852 is a personal technical blog built from scratch — originally with React and Vite, now migrated to Astro for better performance.

The goal: learn by building, and share what I learn along the way.

The Stack

  • Astro — Static site generator
  • React — Interactive islands
  • rehype-highlight — Syntax highlighting
  • Plain CSS — No Tailwind, no framework
  • Markdown — Content written in .md files
  • GitHub Pages — Deployment (coming soon)

The Philosophy

"When you use a framework, you learn the framework. When you build from scratch, you learn the platform."

This blog is intentionally simple. Every feature is something I built and understand. If I can't explain how it works, I probably shouldn't ship it.
