Evolution of a Resume

How my resume started, what forms it took, and why is it on GitHub Pages now (and why yours should be too)

• very limited much server side logic (a ‘static’ site is generated from data)
• < partial > is converted to <div class="ContentContainer">

• Markdown (.md) is like a mix between view data (yaml) and view style / internal structure
• .html template files are like the layout and partial views (https://jekyllrb.com/docs/includes/#including-files-relative-to-another-file)

Reasons for doing this:

• Cut down on hosting costs (domain, server hardware, electricity)
• Cut down on maintenence costs (static sites are less prone to unexpected runtime behavior)
• Shift over to a streamlined development pipeline, from idea to release as a web page
• Lots of public examples, documentation, and resources (even plugins for common tasks)
• Make a site’s code public without worrying about particular security risks (there’s no endpoint to pass SQL injection scripts to)
