<p>I have been learning more about current advancements on LLM models and its uses in almost every field of work, even in quant. If even my friends from Jane Street are utilising AI in their work, I should also catch up with the times and itegrate that into my workflow too to keep up with those geniuses.</p>

<p>However, even if AI can be used extensively like so, I realise that I should also create a blog for the sake of recording down both the organic projects I once created from scratch and also explain down how future vibe coded projects work, so I can at least understand the process fully.</p>

<h2 id="hello-blog">Hello Blog</h2>

<p>Anyways, this is my blog which is a Jekyll static site, set up for GitHub Pages.</p>

<p>How it’s hosted:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Jekyll reads the Markdown posts, layouts, includes, and _config.yml</li>
  <li>It then turns them into HTML pages</li>
  <li>This allows the creation of this static site here</li>
</ul>]]></content><author><name></name></author><summary type="html"><![CDATA[The first post on Eric's blog.]]></summary></entry></feed>
