Programming, software, and related topics

When I was a college freshman, we had to take an introductory course to computer science. The course covered many different topics, such as sorting algorithms, internet of things, and artificial intelligence. For AI, we were given a prebuilt 2D "Mars Rover" simulation to write an AI for. Unfortunately since this was an introductory class, we weren't expected to know how to program with actual programming languages yet - instead we got use Scratch 2 for all of our assignments.

On Pi Day (3.14), Microcenter had the Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless on sale for $3.14, so naturally I had to pick one up, with a microSD card. But once I got home, I quickly realized that I had no mini-HDMI or micro-USB adapters, so I had no way to set it up. Fortunately, Raspbian has an official way to set up SSH and WiFi. However, it doesn't quite work.

I've always been a strong believer in lightweight, simple web pages that don't do more than necessary. That's not to say I want a plain text document with no styling at all, but rather a website that doesn't rely on a massive CSS or JavaScript framework to offer basic functionality. This line of reasoning is why I chose a static site generator in the first place - why on Earth would you need server side processing or a database for a website that never changes?
