TLDR, if you are more interested in the tech stack changes of the blog, or you want to contact me.
- My 1st Hello World is in primary school in a QBasic emulator, (not on a real computer), that was about 2000.
- Java is 1st OOP programming language I learned, I taught myself in end of high school when I got my first laptop
- Started to use SQL, Python, Javascript/HTML/CSS and a bit C# in uni, at the same time, I registered my Github account and started to make contribution to some projects, and started my first blog
- After uni, I started to work in different industry, and had more experience and knowledge in cloud and architect, because with work experience growing, I found many engineering problems could be solved in a different architecture solution much more easily.
- Now I worked as a dev guy in a Pacific-Asia based company, besides that, I wrote articles and built side projects.
- Sanic Currency Exchange Rates Api (Eu Central Bank)
- Stack update, Moving AceIelts.Pro to AWS
- Trackers Away – Mac OS Ads Blocker – releasing 1.0.3 and road map

- I wrote some real life based discussion regarding work culture, how to be a manager in a tech team, and work life balancing (these discussion might not be very objective)

Stack Changes of My Blog
Why to make these tech stack changes
- WP is not flexible like using React Strapi, but it it get enough templates and themes can save you tens of times on styling
- WP is heavier than Hexo, but with optimisation and for personal blog/CMS purpose, it is way more than enough.
