In the beginning, there was a desire for a new hobby, a venture into the world of blogging. I found myself lacking a personal website. The timing seemed opportune with the emergence of ReactJS and Next.js, technologies I hadn't delved into deeply before. Thus, farhad.my was born—a sandbox for experimentation with the MERN stack, where MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js converged. It was a playground for me to explore the vast possibilities of React.

So here I am, on a quest to prove to the world that I can build stuff. Day after day, I'm hunting for inspiration on the design front. Some of you might probably recognize where I got the inspiration for the loading sprite. Most of my time was spent wrangling with ideas and playing around with some React features that were new to me. Now, all that's left is to sprinkle some magic on my shiny new blogs section. After scribbling down this article, I realized that being a tech writer ain't half bad! I reckon I might toss in some gadget reviews too, seeing as I've got a mountain of tech goodies just lounging around. Building this website has been a journey of self-discovery, pushing me to explore new technologies and find my voice as a gig developer.
Update (10/6/2024):
I've revamped this website, implementing Next.js with SSR as the foundation. I've
also developed a full-stack blog system for better writing experiences.
