Though the site has gone through many changes, including a <a href="https://github.com/hllywluis/kleptonix">GitHub project</a> that I was working on before I started my full-time role, this is now the permanent home of kleptonix. It&#8217;s a blog, but not just any blog. I can finally call it <em>mine</em>.</p><h1>Why should I care?</h1><p>Well, it&#8217;s not usually the case that a new blog like this gets published out of thin air. I&#8217;ve configured my website to point specifically to my Substack and (with some luck) I&#8217;ll be able to gain some subscribers (hopefully) and be able to build an audience that appreciates looking into the mind of a Platform Engineer. It&#8217;s also unusual that someone with a full-time job can keep up the posts, but I&#8217;ll do my best. I swear.</p><h1>Cool, what&#8217;s next?</h1><p>Articles, essays, and more on niche tech topics such as Ham Radio, my experiences working at a startup, my current experiences with technology such as AWS, and poignant opinions on various issues currently going on in our crazy world. I&#8217;ll be sure to do my research, and opine carefully about the things I read. The last thing I would want is to make an uninformed and possibly dumb mistake in my knowledge, which is always improving day by day.</p><p></p><p>Take care, and I&#8217;ll see you in my next post.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://stack.kleptonix.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading kleptonix!
