I’ve had a few blogs over the years - when I was younger I had a bad habit of starting a blog, and then occasionally throwing it away to move to a new platform. There’s a handful of blog posts out there that I’ve written that are now lost to the internet.

By pure chance, however, I managed to find the source for one iteration of my blog, complete with 5 posts I made around mid-2014 - 2015. For posterity, I’ve added them to this blog, all under the [archive category](https://lewisdale.dev/blog/category/archive).

I loved that era of my personal development - I was still fairly new to tech, I think I would have been in my second or industrial year of university, I was learning a ton and just wanted to share it with everyone.

I’ve been making an effort to rekindle that passion I had for writing code, where I’d have an idea, build it in a day or two, and then just want to share it. A big part of that means overcoming the perfectionism and imposter syndrome that has held me back in the last couple of years. Hopefully, though, it should let me produce some interesting work!
