Medium archive
Older articles I wrote on Medium before this site became the home for my writing.
Before this site became the home for my writing, I wrote on Medium and around the freeCodeCamp/codeburst ecosystem.
Some of those pieces are very much from an earlier version of me: more tutorial-shaped, more beginner-friendly, and occasionally carrying the enthusiasm of someone who had just discovered a tool and wanted everyone to know immediately.
I do not want them to disappear into someone else’s feed forever.
This page is the first pass at bringing that work back home. For now, these link to the original versions. The better long-term version is to migrate the strongest pieces into local posts, clean them up, add canonical links, and let them sit next to the newer writing.

Migration plan
The pieces I would migrate first:
- An intro to Webpack because it connects naturally to the current writing about frameworks and build systems.
- Canvas and JavaScript because it has a playful project shape and could become a much better visual post here.
- Git, Version Control System & Github because it is foundational and can be rewritten with a more mature voice.
The older deployment tutorials can stay archived until they are worth rewriting, because platform advice ages quickly.
