Same point of view, but I think the idea was to use/learn technologies/tooling? I already did this for some personal websites so If the tech/tool is not good it's no big deal :)
Fact is humans appreciate fanciful and beautiful things. More so if we just sticked to the default of everything without pushing to make it more appealing ... advancement wouldn’t be a thing...
TBH it's not. If I was looking at the site after receiving an application, I would be less likely to proceed further. Using the right tool for the right job is important
Jon, though I agree that I do have tons of tooling, I feel like every tool has a specific purpose. For example, I used Next.js because I wanted a Static Site Generator, Tailwind because it's a CSS Framework that allowed me to build the site within a week, and TypeScript for type checking. I used a Markdown parser to parse my blog markdowns.
Besides Tailwind, I think most of the tooling was necessary. I'd love to know your thoughts.
Absolutely! Totally agree with you on that. This could be a plain HTML, CSS, JS website.
However, my goal was to learn some new technologies, and I wasn't going to build another glorified todo app .
This project gave me a taste for Typescript, Next.js's static props and paths, rendering markdown files, and using a linter. I'm sure these tools could potentially be useful for me in the future.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I would say you've used way too much tooling for such a simple website

Thanks a lot for this recommendation. It's gold :D
For recruiters, that's good
