+Hello, my name is Timothy Pidashev! I’m an aspiring software engineer currently expanding my technical horizons!
+
+Wait… that was a bit too formal. This is, after all, a blog post. Let me try that again.
+
+Hey 👋, my name is Timothy! I’m a software nerd who loves building cool tech! Phew, that was rough. Jokes aside, 
+I’m happy you're here, dear reader. I have a lot planned for my little blog, and I hope the next few posts will 
+be useful to many nerds out there!
+
+As a little spoiler of what’s to come, the next post will be a complete dive into modifying and corebooting a 
+Thinkpad T440p for the ultimate secure dev laptop! I’ve been personally daily-driving mine for the last two 
+years and can’t wait to show it off, so stay tuned!

+including flashing the BIOS chip and installing the necessary software.
+
+## What You'll Need
+
+Before getting started corebooting your T440p, make sure you have the following:
+
+- **Thinkpad T440p**: This guide is specifically for the T440p model.
+- **CH341A Programmer**: This is a USB device used to flash the BIOS chip.
+- **Screwdriver**: A torx screwdriver is needed to open the laptop.
+
+## Installing Dependencies
+
+Install the following programs. These will be needed to compile coreboot and flash the BIOS.
+
+<Commands
+  description="Install prerequisite packages"
+  archCommand="sudo pacman -S base-devel curl git gcc-ada ncurses zlib nasm sharutils unzip flashrom"
+  debianCommand="sudo apt install build-essential curl git gnat libncurses-dev zlib1g-dev nasm sharutils unzip flashrom"
+  fedoraCommand="sudo dnf install @development-tools curl git gcc-gnat ncurses-devel zlib-devel nasm sharutils unzip flashrom"
+  gentooCommand="sudo emerge --ask sys-devel/base-devel net-misc/curl dev-vcs/git sys-devel/gcc ncurses dev-libs/zlib dev-lang/nasm app-arch/sharutils app-arch/unzip sys-apps/flashrom"
+  nixCommand="nix-env -i stdenv curl git gcc gnat ncurses zlib nasm sharutils unzip flashrom"
+  client:load
+/>
+
+## Disassembling the Laptop
+1. **Power off your laptop**: Make sure your T440p is completely powered off and unplugged from any power source.
+2. **Remove the battery**: Flip the laptop over and remove the battery by sliding the latch to the unlock position and lifting it out.
+3. **Unscrew the back panel**: Use a torx screwdriver to remove the screws securing the back panel.
+
+## Locating the EEPROM Chips
+
+In order to flash the laptop, you will need to have access to two EEPROM chips located next to the sodimm RAM.
+
+![EEPROM Chips Location](/blog/thinkpad-t440p-coreboot-guide/eeprom_chips_location.png)
+
+## Assembling the SPI Flasher
+
+Place the SPI flasher ribbon cable into the correct slot and make sure its the 3.3v variant
+
+![SPI Flasher Assembly](/blog/thinkpad-t440p-coreboot-guide/spi_flasher_assembly.png)
+
+After the flasher is ready, connect it to your machine and ensure its ready to use:
+
+<Command 
+  description="Ensure the CH341A flasher is being detected"
+  command="flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi"
+/>
+
+Flashrom should report that programmer initialization was a success.
+
+## Extracting Original BIOS
+
+To begin, first create a clean directory where all work to coreboot
+the T440p will be done.
+
+<Command 
+  description="Create a directory where all work will be done"
+  command="mkdir ~/t440p-coreboot"
+  client:load
+/>
+
+Next, extract the original rom from both EEPROM chips. This is 
+done by attaching the programmer to the correct chip and running
+the subsequent commands. It may take longer than expected, and 
+ensuring the bios was properly extracted is important before proceeding
+further.
+
+<CommandSequence 
+  commands={[
+    "sudo flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -r 4mb_backup1.bin",
+    "sudo flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -r 4mb_backup2.bin",
+    "diff 4mb_backup1.bin 4mb_backup2.bin"
+  ]}
+  description="Backup and verify 4MB chip"
+  client:load
+/>
+
+<CommandSequence
+  commands={[
+    "sudo flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -r 8mb_backup1.bin",
+    "sudo flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -r 8mb_backup2.bin",
+    "diff 8mb_backup1.bin 8mb_backup2.bin"
+  ]}
+  description="Backup and verify 8MB chip"
+  client:load
+/>
+
+If the diff checks pass, combine both files into one ROM.
+
+<Command
+  description="Combine 4MB & 8MB into one ROM"
+  command="cat 8mb_backup_1.bin 4mb_backup1.bin > t440p-original.rom"
+  client:load
+/>
+
+## Building Required Tools
+
+Now that the original bios has been successfuly extracted, it is time 
+to clone the coreboot repository and build every tool needed to build
+a new bios image.
+
+<CommandSequence
+  commands={[
+    "git clone https://review.coreboot.org/coreboot ~/t440p-coreboot/coreboot",
+    "cd ~/t440p-coreboot/coreboot",
+    "git checkout e1e762716cf925c621d58163133ed1c3e006a903",
+    "git submodule update --init --checkout"
+  ]}
+  description="Clone coreboot and checkout to the correct commit"
+  client:load
+/>
+
+We will need to build `idftool`, which will be used to export all necessary blobs
+from our original bios, and `cbfstool`, which will be used to extract __mrc.bin__(a blob 
+from a haswell chromebook peppy image).
+
+<Command 
+  description="Build util/ifdtool"
+  command="cd ~/t440p-coreboot/coreboot/util/ifdtool && make"
+  client:load
+/>
+
+<Command
+  description="Build util/cbfstool"
+  command="cd ~/t440p-coreboot/coreboot/ && make -C util/cbfstool"
+  client:load
+/>
+
+## Exporting Firmware Blobs
+
+Once the necessary tools have been built, we can export the
+3 flash regions from our original bios image.
+
+<CommandSequence
+  commands={[
+    "cd ~/t440p-coreboot/coreboot/util/ifdtool",
+    "./ifdtool -x ~/t440p-coreboot/t440p-original.rom",
+    "mv flashregion_0_flashdescriptor.bin ~/t440p-coreboot/ifd.bin",
+    "mv flashregion_2_intel_me.bin ~/t440p-coreboot/me.bin",
+    "mv flashregion_3_gbe.bin ~/t440p-coreboot/gbe.bin"
+  ]}
+  description="Export firmware blobs"
+  client:load
+/>
+
+## Obtaining mrc.bin
+
+In order to obtain __mrc.bin__, we need the chromeos peppy image.
+This can be pulled by running the `crosfirmware.sh` script found in util/chromeos.
+
+<Command
+  description="Download peppy chromeos image"
+  command="cd ~/t440p-coreboot/coreboot/util/chromeos && ./crosfirmware.sh peppy"
+  client:load
+/>
+
+
+We can now obtain __mrc.bin__ using cbfstool to extract the blob from the image.
+
+<CommandSequence
+  commands={[
+    "cd ~/t440p-coreboot/coreboot/util/chromeos",
+    "../cbfstool/cbfstool coreboot-*.bin extract -f mrc.bin -n mrc.bin -r RO_SECTION",
+    "mv mrc.bin ~/t440p-coreboot/mrc.bin"
+  ]}
+  description="Extract mrc.bin using cbfstool"
+  client:load
+/>
+
+## Configuring Coreboot
+
+Configuring coreboot is really where most of your time will be spent. To help out, 
+I've created several handy configs that should suit most use cases, and can be easily
+tweaked to your liking. Here is a list of whats available:
+
+### 1. GRUB2 (Recommended)
+
+GRUB2 is the recommended payload for most users. It boots Linux directly without needing a
+separate bootloader installation on disk. This configuration includes three secondary payloads:
+
+- **memtest86+** - Memory testing utility
+- **nvramcui** - CMOS/NVRAM settings editor
+- **coreinfo** - System information viewer
+
+If your T440p has the optional GT730M dGPU, the GRUB2 config also includes the
+necessary VGA option ROM for it.
+
+### 2. SeaBIOS
+
+SeaBIOS provides a traditional BIOS interface, making it the most compatible option.
+Choose this if you need to boot operating systems that expect a legacy BIOS, such
+as Windows or BSD.
+
+### 3. edk2 (UEFI)
+
+edk2 provides a UEFI firmware interface. Choose this if you prefer UEFI boot or
+need UEFI-specific features.
+
+---
+
+If using the interactive script, it will prompt you to choose a payload and apply
+a preset configuration automatically. You can also choose to open the full
+configuration menu (`make nconfig`) to customize further.
+
+For manual configuration, first copy the extracted blobs into place:
+
+<CommandSequence
+  commands={[
+    "mkdir -p ~/t440p-coreboot/coreboot/3rdparty/blobs/mainboard/lenovo/haswell",
+    "mkdir -p ~/t440p-coreboot/coreboot/3rdparty/blobs/cpu/intel/haswell",
+    "cp ~/t440p-coreboot/ifd.bin ~/t440p-coreboot/coreboot/3rdparty/blobs/mainboard/lenovo/haswell/descriptor.bin",
+    "cp ~/t440p-coreboot/me.bin ~/t440p-coreboot/coreboot/3rdparty/blobs/mainboard/lenovo/haswell/me.bin",
+    "cp ~/t440p-coreboot/gbe.bin ~/t440p-coreboot/coreboot/3rdparty/blobs/mainboard/lenovo/haswell/gbe.bin",
+    "cp ~/t440p-coreboot/mrc.bin ~/t440p-coreboot/coreboot/3rdparty/blobs/cpu/intel/haswell/mrc.bin"
+  ]}
+  description="Copy firmware blobs into the coreboot source tree"
+  client:load
+/>
+
+Then open the configuration menu:
+
+<Command
+  description="Open coreboot configuration"
+  command="cd ~/t440p-coreboot/coreboot && make nconfig"
+  client:load
+/>
+
+Key settings to configure:
+
+- **Mainboard** &rarr; Mainboard vendor: **Lenovo** &rarr; Mainboard model: **ThinkPad T440p**
+- **Chipset** &rarr; Add Intel descriptor.bin, ME firmware, and GbE configuration (set paths to your blobs)
+- **Chipset** &rarr; Add haswell MRC file (set path to mrc.bin)
+- **Payload** &rarr; Choose your preferred payload (GRUB2, SeaBIOS, or edk2)
+
+## Building and Flashing 
+
+After configuring coreboot, it is time to build and flash it onto your unsuspecting T440p :D
+
+<CommandSequence
+  commands={[
+    "cd ~/t440p-coreboot/coreboot",
+    "make crossgcc-i386 CPUS=$(nproc)",
+    "make"
+  ]}
+  description="Build coreboot"
+  client:load 
+/>
+
+Once the coreboot build has completed, split the built ROM for the 8MB(bottom) chip & 4MB(top) chip.
+
+<CommandSequence
+  commands={[
+    "cd ~/t440p-coreboot/coreboot/build",
+    "dd if=coreboot.rom of=bottom.rom bs=1M count=8",
+    "dd if=coreboot.rom of=top.rom bs=1M skip=8"
+  ]}
+  description="Split the built ROM for both EEPROM chips"
+  client:load
+/>
+
+Now flash the new bios onto your thinkpad!
+
+<Command
+  description="Flash the 4MB chip"
+  command="sudo flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -w top.rom"
+/>
+
+<Command
+  description="Flash the 8MB chip"
+  command="sudo flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -w bottom.rom"
+/>
+
+Thats it! If done properly, your thinkpad should now boot!
+
+## Reverting to Original
+
+If for some reason you feel the need to revert back, or your T440p can't boot, 
+here are the steps needed to flash the original image back.
+
+### Can't Boot
+
+<CommandSequence 
+  commands={[
+    "cd ~/t440p-coreboot/",
+    "dd if=t440p-original.rom of=bottom.rom bs=1M count=8",
+    "dd if=t440p-original.rom of=top.rom bs=1M skip=8"
+  ]}
+  description="Split original bios image for both EEPROM chips"
+  client:load
+/>
+
+<Command 
+  description="Flash the 4MB chip"
+  command="sudo flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -w top.rom"
+/>
+
+<Command 
+  description="Flash the 8MB chip"
+  command="sudo flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -w bottom.rom"
+/>
+
+### Can Boot
+
+<CommandSequence
+  commands={[
+    "sudo sed -i '/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT/ s/\"/ iomem=relaxed\"/2' /etc/default/grub",
+    "sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg",
+  ]}
+  description="Set kernel flag iomem=relaxed and update grub config"
+  client:load
+/>
+
+Reboot to apply `iomem=relaxed`
+
+<Command
+  description="Flash the original bios"
+  command="sudo flashrom -p internal:laptop=force_I_want_a_brick -r ~/t440p-coreboot/t440p-original.rom"
+/>
+
+And that about wraps it up! If you liked the guide, leave a reaction or comment any changes or fixes
+I should make below. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

+---
+
+## Overview
+My gruvbox theme, with a pure black background
+
+## Key Features
+* **Pure Black Background**: Preventing eyestrain during prolonged screen time.
+
+* **Gruvbox Inspired**: Only the very best warm colorscheme, revamped for contrast.
+
+* **Neovim First**: First class support for neovim, with treesitter support built in.
+
+## Development Highlights
+First, this project could not have been possible without the help of previous theme projects 
+such as [gruvbox.nvim](https://github.com/ellisonleao/gruvbox.nvim). Major kudos to everyone
+who helped write that plugin. Using existing code as reference from this project dramatically 
+sped up development and made matters easy. 
+
+On top of that, working with lua was delightful, and there were no roadblocks or glaring
+issues which prevented me from completion. Neovim's tight integration with lua is a game
+changer compared to something like [VimScript](https://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/usr_41.html). 
+Overall, I found the whole experience simply perfect. 
+
+## Challenges & Roadblocks
+One thing I am not proud of, is how contrast has turned out. At the moment, the gruvbox dark 
+colorscheme that inspired darkbox, isn't taking into account the contrast change from the 
+background `#282828` to `#000000`. This, can show up as a bit washed out to the careful eye in certain
+code blocks where multiple colors clash together. I intend to work on this in a future release. 
+The fix will be to darken the color contrast to more closely match to the pure black background.
+
+## Summary
+This is it! This is the theme I am going to use for most likely the rest of my programming life.
+I have always had a gruvbox themed desktop, but no background image. This resulted in an interesting
+combo, and where the spark for this idea came from. I'm a bit biased, but I love it and hope 
+someone else does too. The github link can be found [here](https://github.com/timmypidashev/darkbox.nvim) :D

+## Overview
+A private learning center website that provides information about the organization,
+student registrations, a newsletter, and full admin login with administrative tools.
+
+## Key Features
+* **Server Components**: React Server Components power efficient data flow and server-side
+rendering.
+
+* **JWT Authentication**: Built using a custom authentication provider, the entire site is 
+secured with a jwt token schema, including refresh tokens.
+
+* **Elegant Components**: Constructed using Shadcn and Framer motion, component animations
+and feel are seamless.
+
+## Development Highlights
+Building this site was quite an interesting feat. This was my first foray into react server 
+components, and while they aren't my preferred method of building applications, It was a great
+experience to fully dive in and make use of them. This was also my first time using Nextjs's 
+new app router, and coming from the page router I really liked the experience. Building out
+new pages and components was just a pure flow of thought, and I found myself trying to keep up
+with the ideas coming out of my head rather than coming upon development barriers or softblocks.
+
+## Challenges & Roadblocks
+One of the only real challenges I didn't anticipate was caching. In Nextjs 14, caching is handled
+very poorly, and I found myself struggling to figure out workarounds when handling dynamic data
+such as the newsletter on the site. Full cache routes were extremely tricky to understand, but 
+after reading some troubleshooting guides it was full sailing ahead.
+
+Another tricky but fun challenge was implementing authentication using react server components.
+Since I had never used them up to this point, going about setting up a jwt schema while also trying
+to ensure api routes don't accidentally leak was tricky, and something I still to this day don't really
+like when it comes to server components. The fact that a single line of code is responsible for separating
+server from client with nothing preventing a dev from putting all those components wherever they please can 
+cause quite a mess, so following good file organization conventions was instrumental. 
+
+## Summary
+Overall, I had a pleasant time working on [fhccenter](https://fhccenter.org). After learning all the new
+features like server components and the app router, I spent more time messing around with css styling and 
+getting the site to look exactly the way I wanted it rather than debugging silly mistakes, which was 
+refreshing coming from other frameworks.

+
+## Overview
+A open-source graphics engine concept created for my highschool senior project. 
+Built to expand my understanding of the low level programming world, and further
+my reach of graphics and c++ programming.
+
+## Key Features
+* **Dockable Windows**: A quality of life feature utilizing imgui which allows
+to efficiently use monitor space, moving logging and certain tools into their own 
+windows outside of the engines viewspace.
+
+* **Layer Stack**: Deterministic and fast stack which determines the order in which 
+all layers of the application are drawn, from the ui all the way to the polygons making
+up the scene.
+
+* **Input Polling**: A realtime implementation polling all input events on the keyboard
+and mouse for an extremely low latency between input events and scene events.
+
+* **Detailed Logging**: A detailed logging system which logs events from the scene all the 
+way down to the system.
+
+* **Shading**: The crème de la crème of the renderer, adding shading to the entire scene.
+
+## Development Highlights
+Some of the best highlights for me during this project was quite literally every time I managed
+to fix a compilation issue. The exhileration after each successful step forward was just mesmerizing,
+and I knew the moment I began my obsession wouldn't end until the engine was in a complete state.
+Since I was going into this blind during my senior year at highschool, I knew almost nothing about 
+c++ or the build systems that accompany it, so learning all of that at once was both a breath of fresh 
+air and a frustration. However, after several days of work, I became very comfortable with cmake, my build 
+system of choice, and most basic concepts of c++, allowing me to begin working on the engine itself. 
+It was at this point where I started hitting some real knowledge barriers and ended up going to multiple 
+resources to learn and understand the inner workings of a graphics renderer. Resources such as the 
+[Hazel Engine Series](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxIZbV_XjAs&list=PLlrATfBNZ98dC-V-N3m0Go4deliWHPFwT),
+[Learn C++ Website](https://www.learncpp.com/learn-cpp-site-index/), and [OpenGL Tutorials](https://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/tutorials/)
+helped me tremendously here.
+
+## Challenges & Roadblocks
+Some of the biggest challenges I faced was overcoming the knowledge barrier I had on the inner workings
+of graphics rendering and low level programming overall. Thankfuly, being stubborn and obsessed can 
+sometimes help, and in this case after numerous attempts, I began meticoulouly learning every aspect 
+of the engine as I developed it, and over time it began paying off, snowballing into a very fun experience. 
+Some food for thought, after you overcome the biggest barrier in your journey, the rest seems laughably easy.
+
+## Summary
+Looking back, working on Iridescent was some of the most fun I have ever had programming as of yet,
+and I am still craving for the next project to top this one. It was only by working on this engine
+that I realized just how much I love working on the little details, obsessing over each little system
+in the engine. Definitely something I will have to do again, maybe write a little game, but thats for 
+future me to decide :D

+
+## Overview
+A car parts listing website built to provide an intuitive and efficient experience 
+for users searching for automotive parts. This project was commissioned by a client 
+and showcases some pretty cool modern web technologies, enabling excellent
+performance and a clean user interface.
+
+## Key Features
+* **Dynamic & Simple Routing**: Powered by TanStack Router, enabling seamless navigation 
+and deep-linking for product categories and details.
+
+* **Real-Time Data Fetching**: Utilized React Query to handle server state and caching, 
+ensuring users have up-to-date information.
+
+* **Infinite Scroll**:  Implemented React Query's infinite scrolling and memoization 
+optimization techniques to ensure fast and seamless scrolling through listings.
+
+* **Dynamic Filters**: Created dynamic filters which are editable on the admin panel,
+allowing for a high level of customization.
+
+* **Responsive Design**: Built with Tailwind and Shadcn for a fully responsive layout,
+providing a consistent experience across desktop and mobile devices.
+
+* **Optimized Performance**: Leveraged Vite for fast builds and optimized code-splitting,
+improving page load times drastically.
+
+## Development Highlights
+I had numerous highlights and *aha* moments when developing this site. One of these has to 
+be the site layout, built with [shadcn/ui](https://ui.shadcn.com) components. I had used 
+this component library in a previous site, but I had yet to grasp just how powerful this 
+collection of components is. We truly do stand on the shoulders of giants, and using this
+library not only allowed me to very quickly prototype a design, but to then flesh it out
+without having to dive into the weeds of UI development.
+
+Another great highlight has to be [Tanstack Router](https://tanstack.com/router/latest). 
+As a seasoned developer, I have had many opportunities to try a lot of different routers
+across several frameworks. As many have before me, we stumble onto the nextjs router, and 
+tend not to look back. However, tanstack did something I did not expect, and it takes routing 
+to the next level. With TanStack, the routes folder is solely focused on defining routes and 
+layouts, providing a cleaner, more modular structure. This is a stark contrast to Next.js's 
+approach, where the app directory can quickly become convoluted by mixing route definitions 
+with server-side logic, API calls, and other concerns. Anybody who has built a Nextjs project
+bigger than a To-Do app can likely relate to the mental pain that is trying to find a route or 
+endpoint in your app router when its nested and hidden away four or five directories deep.
+
+Another memorable highlight was writing my backend in Python using [Fastapi](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/). 
+Sometimes, a project doesn't need a complex nodejs runtime, or an ORM built for a massive service. 
+As a python enthusiast, I found the combination of fastapi & sqlmodel to be just perfect for this project, 
+and defining api endpoints and schemas were quite enjoyable. As I do, I decided to roll my own authentication, 
+and found Python to be a great environment in which to do so. 
+
+Lastly, I have to touch on React Query. The combo that is React Query and Fastapi can truly be magical.
+To truly showcase what I mean, here's an example of a query and endpoint working together:
+
+```typescript
+// features/auth/services/login/queries.ts
+export function useLogin() {
+  const { setCredentials } = useUserStore();
+
+  return useMutation<LoginResponseSchemaType, AxiosError<BackendError>, LoginRequestSchemaType>({
+    mutationFn: user => login(user),
+    onSuccess: data => {
+      setCredentials({
+        accessToken: data.access_token,
+      });
+    },
+  });
+}
+
+const login = backend<z.infer<typeof LoginRequestSchema>, z.infer<typeof LoginResponseSchema>>({
+  method: "POST",
+  path: `${BACKEND_URL}${AUTH}/login`,
+  requestSchema: LoginRequestSchema,
+  responseSchema: LoginResponseSchema,
+  type: "public",
+});
+```
+```typescript 
+// features/auth/services/login/schemas
+import { z } from "zod";
+
+export const LoginRequestSchema = z.object({
+  email: z
+    .string()
+    .min(1, "Email is required!")
+    .trim()
+    .email({ message: "Invalid email!" })
+    .toLowerCase(),
+  password: z.string().trim().min(8, { message: "Password must be at least 8 characters long!" }),
+});
+export type LoginRequestSchemaType = z.infer<typeof LoginRequestSchema>;
+
+export const LoginResponseSchema = z.object({
+  access_token: z.string(),
+});
+export type LoginResponseSchemaType = z.infer<typeof LoginResponseSchema>;

+Using Zod, the frontend is validating what a user is attempting to submit 
+before calling the endpoint. If Zod does not throw an error, our frontend will 
+call our backend endpoint, which also expects the right types to be present.
+Afterwards, the backend will respond back with a response that our frontend 
+will also validate. This allows for a complete multi-directional 
+request -> response type validation!
+
+## Challenges & Roadblocks
+For the most part, there were really no challenges, say for some hiccups here and there.
+Probably the most painful parts were creating unit tests for the frontend, and scraping
+Facebook for a total of 1,384 posts for my client, who wanted the posts imported over.
+As one can imagine, that process is not simple to do manually by hand, so I wrote multiple 
+python scripts using the seleneum library to fetch the posts from the sellers account, a process 
+which took multiple attempts, several overnight scrapes, and lots of data sanitation afterwards. 
+Other than that, everything else was an absolute joy to work on, and I finished the project in under 
+15K LOC.
+
+## Summary
+Sometimes, building a CRUD app can be lots of fun, no matter how many times you've done it before.
+All it takes is adding something new to the stack, and striving to improve the code you write. This
+project was exactly that, a mix of new technologies working together to power a fairly neat site,
+which can be viewed [here](https://reviveauto.parts). Maybe there is a car part there which the reader
+might need. As always, thanks for the read :)

+
+## Overview
+A portfolio website and resume for yours truly. 
+
+## Development Highlights
+Building the second version of my website was a dream. This was my first time using Astro,
+and wow, just wow! For starters, The entire site is ~1,500 LOC (excluding MDX). That is 
+small for the amount of things I was able to accomplish. That aside, Astro's simplicity is
+unmatched. Coming from React-based frameworks, the ability to just import react components 
+and have them work out of the box was unexpected. And the astro layout files! They are so 
+easy to look at, it just turns on some kind of code ocd within my head. I can't stop admiring
+it. All this to say, Astro was the perfect choice for my website.
+
+## Challenges & Roadblocks
+Although the development process was extremely simple and fun, there really were no challenges,
+which allowed me to express my creativity to my fullest. Building out Conway's game of life as 
+a canvas background simulation wasn't the first idea I had, and that whole endeavour started as a 
+growing vines simulation similar to that of the old Poptropica flash game loading screens, all the way
+to a full fishtank simulation like Asciiquarium. But, they just never felt final to me, and this simulation
+was simple to implement and most importantly very lightweight compared to the other simulations I was 
+working on.
+
+## Summary
+The result is deeply satisfying - a personal website that authentically reflects my style.
+It captures my minimalist desktop aesthetic, down to the font choices and clean layout.
+After many hours of careful work, I am very proud of what I have created for myself and hope
+the reader agrees :)
