Thanks for sharing that.

I am almost doing the exact opposite. I am beginner in cyber security, more of a student and enthusiast. I've been using Hashnode for some miscelaneous posting, mostly for storage and remote access for personal use.

I had very recently decided to create a personal blog post with hugo, with few of my pals.

It would be awesome if you could comment on wether I should stay here or should I continue on, as I see this as a new learning opurtunity.

Wishing you a good day, take care.
