Book suggestion: Nerds per Minute
I recently got the book “Nerds per Minute: A History of Competitive Typing” by the author Sean Wrona. There is probably no one else in the world who could’ve written this book, considering how extremely well-educated Wrona is on the topic. The author is someone I’ve followed since 2010, when I found out about him on YouTube, after he had won the 2010 Ultimate Typing Championship.
I have been interested in speed typing for many years and I’ve almost always been the quickest typer at the office. I highly recommend the book if you’re interested in speed typing, the history of the typewriter or anything in between.
Wrona has an honorable mention to the late Reckful, which was a Twitch streamer who made speed typing known to your everyday gamer.
You can find the book at Amazon.

Terragrunt
I recently started using Terragrunt, which is a wrapper for Terraform.
It helps with deployments on large-scale projects, and it drastically minimizes the amount of inputs you have to write manually.
You can find it here on my Github profile.

Creation of this site
I recently created this website to learn a bit about frontend development.
I created a Static Web App in the free tier in Azure, with a custom domain. I then used Hugo to create the frontend for the site.
Even for someone like me, who has little to zero background in any frontend work, it was very easy to set up.
With the help of Github Actions, the building will be automatic and the configuration is very simple.
You can find a bunch of themes for Hugo, but you can also create your own or modify an existing heavily.
I wanted to create a very simple and quick page, which mostly will act as a knowledge directory for myself and to share my social links.
