7experiment was interesting and I have done some great work on macOS but it was
8time to move back.<p>I actually really missed Linux. The simplicity of <code>apt-get</code> or just the amount
9of software that exists for Linux should be a no-brainer. I spent most of my
10time on macOS finding solutions to make things work. Using
11<a href=https://brew.sh/>Brew</a> was just a horrible experience and far from package
12managers of Linux. At least they managed to get that <code>sudo</code> debacle sorted.<p>Not all was bad. macOS in general was a perfectly good environment. Things like
13Docker and tooling like this worked without any hiccups. My normal tools like
14coding IDE worked flawlessly and the whole look and feel is just superb. I have
15been using MacBook Air for couple of years so I was used to the system but never
16as a daily driver.<p>One of the things I did after I installed Linux back on my machine was cleaning
17up my Dropbox folder. I have everything on Dropbox. Even projects folder. I
18write code for living so my whole life revolves around couple of megs of code
19(with assets). So it's not like I have huge files on my machine. I don't have
20movies or music or pictures on my PC. All of that stuff is in cloud. I use
21Google music and I have Netflix account which is more than enough for me.<p>I also went and deleted some of the repositories on my Github account. I have
22deleted more code than deployed. People find this strange but for me deleting
23something feels so cathartic and also forces me to write better code next time
24around when I am faced with similar problem. That was a huge relief if I am
25being totally honest.<p>Next step was to do something with my webpage. I have been using some scripts I
26wrote a while ago to generate static pages from markdown source posts. I kept on
27adding and adding stuff on top of it and it became a source of a
28frustration. And this is just a simple blog and I was using gulp and npm.
29Anyways after couple of hours of searching and testing static generators I found
30an interesting one
31<a href=https://github.com/piranha/gostatic>https://github.com/piranha/gostatic</a> and I
32just decided to use this one. It was the only one that had a simple templating
33engine, not that I really need one. But others had this convoluted way of trying
34to solve everything and at the end just required quite bigger learning curve I
35was ready to go with. So I deleted couple of old posts, simplified HTML, trashed
36most of the CSS and went with
37<a href=https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/>https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/</a>
38aesthetics. Yeah, the previous site was more visually stimulating but all I
39really care is the content at this point. And Times New Roman font is kind of
40awesome.<p>I stopped working on most of the projects in the past couple of months because
41the overhead was just too insane. There comes a point when you stretch yourself
42too much and then you stop progressing and with that comes dissatisfaction.<p>So that's about it. Moving forward minimal style.</div></div></main><footer><hr><div><h3>Want to comment or have something to add?</h3>You can write me an email at
