jekyll
I used to run my blog off of wordpress which was expensive and I would encounter lots of operational issues. I migrated to github pages which is free, more scalable, more reliable, and faster. Jekyll is what they use.

DeepSeek
I collected the Kotlin implementations that I hand-coded for 8 Leetcode problems then tasked the 70b distillations of both Deepseek R1 and Llama 3.3 to migrate those to Typescript which I then fed back into Leetcode in order to get comparatives based on correctness and efficiency. Final score was Deepseek 4 to Llama 3 (1 tie).

What's great

supports coding tasks (5)
