24 June / / programming / project

This is really a brief test post to see whether my new workflow for this website works.

The whole website is built using Hugo.io, a static website generator based on the Go programming language. Previously, I would have to keep the files locally on my pc, sync them between workstations if I wanted to work on it from different machines. Further, I would have to have the hugo executable in those machines, with the path env set up to compile the static site. So while easy enough to set up, it’s not something I could edit from absolutely anywhere.

🎭 Author Background

Albert Camus was a French author and Nobel Prize winner for literature. Generally agreed upon as an existentialist philosopher, he denied both these terms, instead calling himself an artist in the absurd. Absurdism is his topic of philosophy, and it ties deeply into existentialism. He was good friends with Sartre, however their opposing views on communism ruined that relationship.
