The idea of creating my own website has been on my mind for a long time, but the nightmare of dealing with CSS and the steep learning curve of frontend knowledge kept me hesitant. However, with a productivity boost from ChatGPT (seriously, it felt like a 700% increase!), I finally made it!
I've named this site Z'ink—Z for the first letter of my name, and ink because it symbolizes writing and expression. Plus, the prononciation sounds similar to The Ink, which has some classic and elegant feel :) BTW, the logo of this website is generated by Dall-E 3 and the domain name just costs me 20 dollars.
I built this website as a personal space to share my thoughts and feelings. Sometimes, it's hard to find the right way to speak up, and I'm definitely one of those people. I want to improve my skill in articulating my thoughts, opinions and emotions, which can help me communicate more effectively in different contexts, fostering better connections and ensuring that my intentions and feelings are understood. In the past few years, I've found myself increasingly isolated from society, not sure if it's due to COVID or the injury in my back. It's overwhelming to get reconnected with the people you haven't spoken to for a long time. If you happened to visit my site, why not leave a message? If we already know each other, you might see a different side of me through what I post here. And if we haven’t talked in a while, I’d love it if you reached out to catch up.
As for the content, I’m not entirely sure what this space will evolve into yet. I’ll likely share my journey of building this site, projects I'm working on, and whatever I’m learning along the way. But since this is my personal corner of the internet, the posts won’t be limited to just technical topics. I’ll write about anything—my thoughts, experiences, and life in general. I’m just here to share and hope, along the way, I can find a bit of joy.
懒癌晚期？终于被我（chatgpt）治好了。我感觉自己很久以前就有建一个博客的想法了，本科的时候用github搭建过一个学术主页，申请留学的时候用过，不过那个最终也没能变成博客，而且也没有维护下去。之前没有动手的原因是不想碰前端，因为对选择困难症来说太耗时了。然而这个博客的大量时间也是花费在前端上，即使有了ChatGPT帮忙，以及别人写好的模版。不过学习的过程也是值得的，虽然不能让我成为一个成熟的前端工程师，但是让我了解了很多乱七八糟的知识。而且偶尔干一次全栈还是有点成就感的。
网站被我命名为Z'ink，因为我名字首字母是Z，顺便玩了个谐音梗The Ink。我一直觉得英语里The XXX的叫法很酷。logo是拿ai生成的，顺便很幸运的用20刀拿下了这个域名。
建立网站的一个初衷是希望自己能够以分享的方式促进学习，鞭策自己上进。并且，我感觉自己需要提升自己的表达能力。虽然我遵从母校教诲，讲究行胜于言，但是不会表达终究会付出代价，毕竟并不是任何事情都可以靠行动来传达。希望能通过分享来提升自己，把空闲时间拿来做有意义的事，毕竟过去几年因为腰伤荒废的时间太多了。
至于网站的内容，先看我是不是真的能坚持写博客吧。应该会分享搭建这个网站时学到的东西，顺便可能会科普（宣传）一下Cadence，希望有一天能像Kafka一样普及（~~做梦~~）。毕竟我一次性给域名续了三年，但愿我能坚持下去，希望能获得一些快乐和成就。
