Introducing willcarh.art

Pardon the Interruption

This blog post was written under a previous major version of willcarh.art (e.g. v1.x vs. v2.x). This may seem trivial, but because some of my blog posts reference the website's code, links and code snippets may no longer be valid. Thank you for understanding and please enjoy the post!

A New Home

I'm very excited to announce the launch of my latest personal project: willcarh.art

I think for most people, coding can seem like a foreign language, an abstract dialect in which eclectic individuals speak to computers - and they're not entirely wrong. Taking some green text on a terminal screen and converting it to websites and mobile applications is the black magic of the modern age. And that's exactly why I love it.

Writing software is one of my passions. I think it's creative, expressive, and fun. Want to make a website about bouncing cats? Go right ahead. Want to make an iPhone app that gives you a daily compliment? Be my guest. Yes, these are silly examples, but the point is writing software can be a hobby, too. And, for most developers, I think it is.

I've wanted to build a personal website for a while. As much as I hate to admit it, most average people don't get too excited about CLIs. I'm sure every developer at some point has spent weeks on a cool command line utility, only to have the uninitiated proclaim that's it? So, I decided to build willcarh.art, the world's greatest personal website, per me. And, as an aspiring Pythonista, I wrote it in Python.

So, without further ado, please explore and enjoy! Read about some of my projects, or check out some of my other blog posts (more coming soon). You can also learn more about how the website works. Feel free to drop me a note if you have any questions!
