Structure first
Lock the folder layout, routes, and templates before spending time on visual polish. This applies to code, architecture, and team organization alike.

Working principles
Stable methods matter more than trendy stacks.
These principles shape every technical decision I make, and they're why this site has the structure it does.
Clear boundaries
Which function belongs to which service, which responsibility belongs to which team — these must be defined upfront. Ambiguous boundaries are the biggest source of rework.
Long-term reuse
New features or content should inherit existing patterns instead of starting from scratch. Good architecture makes incremental cost approach zero.

Designing a personal site as a long-lived system
The most important decisions in this rewrite were not visual. They were about content boundaries, bilingual routing, and how new entries get added over time.

Shipping a bilingual MDX content workflow
If bilingual support only exists in UI labels, it falls apart as soon as real articles and project pages show up.

Project
Personal site foundation
The real deliverable in this project is not a hero section. It is a structure that can keep absorbing writing and project content without falling apart.

Project
Bilingual MDX pipeline
The problem this project solves is not whether MDX can render. It is whether adding the next entry will force another routing or layout redesign.
