Redoing a website is hard work, even in the age of AI. It took me a whole day. Now using Astro v5 and a new theme.
Peppa Pig: “Will you finish it today?”
Mr. Bull: “Oh, no! You can’t build a house in a day. It’ll be finished… tomorrow.”
Howdy 👋
Welcome to the garden of Anurag Bhandari the developer. I am a generalist software engineer.
This little space on the web is where I write about my coding adventures, mishappenings, and breif notes in the hopes that my future self (or you) will find something useful.
🎩 Hats I have worn: Linux dev, system troubleshooter, .NET developer, full-stack engineer, applied R&D technologist, front-end architect, API wiz, and (more recently) engineering manager.
At heart, I am an excitable developer with a penchant for ✨ shiny new things, 🧪 experiments, 🪴 growth, and 🙂 emojis.
