git init jnero.dev/#
A blank slate, a bit of excitement, a bit of anxiety.
Yeah I think that sums it up pretty good.
I initially acquired the jnero.dev domain early in my job seeking process in 2025, with my research position at HdM Stuttgart coming to a close.
I wanted a place to show off my recent work thinking that, instead of cramming every detail into a CV, I could just link to the project page for details.
To be perfectly honest with myself, I also wanted to own a homelab/VPS to learn about self-hosting. For now it’s just caddy and hugo but I’m planning to add Gitea (or similar) for my private repositories.
git add blog/#
In the recent years I’ve ditched most social media (excluding LinkedIn for obvious reasons). Instead I found myself gravitating towards a handful of personal and technical blogs. Maybe the “old web” is experiencing a comeback, I can’t really tell as I was barely walking around that time, but I like the idea of more decentralized web.
As a journaling type of guy (now less than I used to, I had a streak of 1776 days), I’ve played with the idea of owning a blog of my own multiple times. What held me back in the past was that my personal writeups are mostly braindumps that nobody but myself is going to ever read (I dearly hope so). During my studies however, I’ve began to enjoy writing short technical papers, preferably about my research or engineering projects in computer graphics and computer vision.
git commit -m "intial commit"#
As with every new habit, success will vary.
For now I’ll make it easy for myself and commit to this: I’ll post when I got something to say and I’ll add to my projects once they are worthy to be published.
The content will change over time, but as will I, that I think that’s the charme.
