-title: "A whole year of being a webmaster!"

-I'm a bit late but better late than sorry, I guess. So, this website is officially one year old!
-Man, has this been a journey. Not a very long or eventful one, but still dope.
-This journey started in May 2022 because that's when I finally got a -well, multiple- domains!
-
-I've tried to build multiple iterations of vidhukant.xyz (now vidhukant.com) over the past year. 
-This iteration won. And on 9th July, this site turned one! It's not a very big project, but I'm so so proud of it.
-I still haven't met my goals, I don't have a regular audience, I don't even write regularly. 
-I seriously need to (and will!) fix that. But in the background, I've been doing many cool things!
-This ["brain dump"](https://bt.ht/dump/) of a blog really means a lot to me, but I guess I haven't had much of brain to dump lately.
-But there'd definitely will be more interesting content coming soon to this site, for sure.
-
-# The history of vidhukant.com
-
-It all started from my laptop. I had set up my domain to redirect to an ngrok tunnel to my laptop.
-Nice placeholder, but not practical. Also since I wanted to host a mailserver, it wasn't for me!
-So I got Vultr, which is the hosting service this random guy on the internet called [Luke Smith](https://lukesmith.xyz) uses.
-On there I hosted a very basic HTML page that looked much like this site's homepage, and started developing [vidhublog](https://dev.vidhukant.xyz/vidhublog)
-which was my attempt on creating a blog website in Go.
-That kinda failed, then I switched to plain HTML until I realised it was very cumbersome if I wanted many pages. 
-That's when I found [HUGO](https://gohugo.io)! HUGO is an awesome static site generator, and you're looking at a product of HUGO right now.
-Oh, and also, I had problems with Vultr so I switched to Linode. And I've been a very happy customer since then!
-
-I figured, if I want to become a random guy on the internet, I have to follow the path of other random guys on the internet.
-Because of that, I tried to make my website as small as possible without hurting the look of the website and added it to [512kb.club](https://512kb.club)!
-Also, on [LandChad.net](https://landchad.net) I found many tutorials to do cool stuff on the server. What you're looking at is not just a website,
-it's a whole ecosystem of mine! And I love it.

-title: "Programming is Literally Magic"
-date: 2023-05-12
-draft: true

-Programming is really cool. It's surreal how to a programmer, the only constraint to what they can 
-do with a computer is hardware limitations. 
-Sure, if you want to do "literally anything" you have to be damn good at programming, but hey that's not a permanent constraint.
-
-I remember when I decided to learn Python a bit over 3 years ago. I literally only wanted to play around with the Ren'Py 
-visual novel engine because I heard that DDLC was written using it. 
-Insane how that decision changed my life. Sounds dramatic but programming is actually life changing!
-
-## I'm a good problem solver now
-
-I guess I *have* been kind of a problem solver from the start, but programming taught me how to apply those skills.
-If something goes wrong, I can be pretty quick to pinpoint the issue. And that's solely because of my experience with developing software.
-Everything is constantly breaking with computers and I've forced myself countless times to fix stuff, 
-which honestly made me wanna die (not really but it feels exactly like that), but now I guess I've fixed enough stuff to be able to
-at least pinpoint issues with stuff fairly quickly. 
-Of course, if I had much more experience I'd be better at it, but it's not a pp measuring contest.
-
-## Customizability FTW
-
-Don't think it applies that much to other OSs but on linux, with just a bit of scripting/playing around with config files, you can make
-some serious magic happen. I've talked about this, but I care a lot about customization; like I literally want everything to be of my
-favourite color (doesn't even matter if it looks good.. to some extent), and I want custom keybindings and all that good stuff.
-
-My friend once suggested that there should be a way to update your MyAnimeList list from the terminal, and inspired by that idea, I created
-[macli](https://github.com/MikunoNaka/macli)! It's a pretty simple program, but it radiates weeb developer energy.
-Words cannot describe how it feels when I use my own software on a daily basis. Even if there is a bug I'd be like "damn I did an oopsie"
-which is kinda funny.
