Why I Built This Space: Software, Iron, and Reflections


I wanted a place on the internet that is truly mine—free of algorithms, zero bloated JavaScript bundles, and without any subscription fees or heavy databases.

This subdomain, blog.reymundolopez.com, exists as a personal hub where I can write about whatever is on my mind:

  • Software Development: Architectural decisions, lessons learned building real-world products, frontend & backend engineering.
  • Artificial Intelligence: Practical experiences working alongside autonomous coding agents and evolving developer tooling.
  • Gym & Fitness: Training routines, progressive overload, nutrition, and staying disciplined.
  • Personal Reflections: Book notes, mindset shifts, and everyday thoughts.

Keeping It Simple

The entire technical foundation of this blog is designed to be as minimal as possible:

  • Written in plain Markdown stored in Git.
  • Built statically with Astro and Tailwind CSS.
  • Served with zero runtime memory overhead on my existing server.

Looking forward to documenting the journey here.
