Most people think of a personal website as a collection of pages.
I’ve started thinking of mine as a system.
This shift happened when I realized that my goals extend beyond displaying information. I want the website to evolve with my thinking, support experiments, host tools, and eventually serve multiple users.
Designing it as a system forces clarity:
- what is canonical,
- what is temporary,
- what should scale,
- and what should remain simple.
This blog documents that mental shift.
The actual execution is captured in the related project.
