Introduction
Hello! I am Ryan Hendrickson and a Senior Platform Engineer in Washington State, USA. To be honest I'm not 100% sure what to put here, so, this will be pretty short.
Why
Starting my own blog has been something that I've always wanted to do, but never got around to. Cut to 2026, and I decided to finally say "screw it" and start after migrating my website to a static site generator (article incoming).
So what can you expect to read here? Whoof, who knows. Currently there's no exotic grand plans. It'll probably just be the ramblings of a mad man, and random things I learn/find interesting.
Since I am currently using Zola, I've added an Atom link in the footer! So if what I post interests you, you can easily subscribe and be notified of any future articles.
Topics
I'm still trying to figure out what I'll even post articles about. As of right now though, I'm thinking just the various technology related things I work on professionally and as a hobby. That means this is a non-exhaustive list:
- Ansible
- Debian
- FreeBSD
- Go
- Rust
- PHP
- Symfony
- WordPress
What's Next
I think the next article in my future is writing about the migration from Symfony with Postgres to Zola. Also probably the migration from Nginx to Caddy.
Closing
I'm new to this, especially putting myself out on the internet like this. However, if you want to connect feel free to send me a LinkedIn request! Otherwise, I'll see you in the next article!
