Why this site stays simple

A personal site works better when it is easy to maintain. The page should not become another piece of infrastructure that demands attention before it can publish a thought.

That is why this site stays static. Plain HTML and CSS remove a surprising amount of friction. A page can be edited directly, deployed quickly, and understood without reconstructing a build pipeline first.

Simplicity here is not nostalgia. It is a practical choice about surface area. Fewer moving parts mean fewer reasons to postpone updates, which is what keeps a personal site alive in the first place.

The result is modest on purpose: enough structure to feel considered, enough restraint to stay durable.
