Following up on my previous post regarding the same topic, this post will specifically discuss reducing code bloat resulting from the use of templates.
New look
Finally, a proper (albeit minimal) landing page. Also, the blog received a new theme, and moved to a Linode box backed by CloudFlare. Sorry if the RSS feed exploded during the move, everything should be stable now. I hope to Continue reading
