A little overview

Hi there,
I am the sole author of all content on this site. Forgive me for not introducing myself, but I value my privacy.
I spend my day job managing distributed infrastructure and linux servers, writing dev tools and backend/systems code.
My daily driver has been Debian Linux since I turned 15, and still is well over a decade later.
I feel at home when a terminal is open somewhere and find joy in automating things or optimizing a pipeline, watching saved seconds accumulate into hours.
The blog was started so I could link to a detailed post instead of explaining the same concepts over and over again when asked, but has since evolved into an outlet for my personal curiosity and learning path, and a repository of knowledge to look things up in.
Tech Couch is a blog primarily focusing on pure technical content, not simple tutorials or news. The goal is to provide not only documentation-level information, but enrich it with real experience, hidden footgun warnings and real-world tradeoffs.
The page is written in go using a postgres database for storage, focusing on readability and clean content presentation.
No AI/Machine learning of any kind is directly involved in the production of posts, although occasionally used to generate header images, proofread articles for comprehension/style and to bootstrap testing environments.
Tech Couch is viewed by over 20,000 unique visitors every month and publishes a new post every Saturday.
