Jekyll source for my personal blog.

Tom Preston-Werner's personal blog, notable mainly because he's a Jekyll co-creator and GitHub co-founder. The posts here are the originals that introduced README-driven development and the Git Parable. Historical artifact more than active resource.

The writing holds up — 'Blogging Like a Hacker' and 'README Driven Development' are still worth reading for anyone who hasn't. The minimal Jekyll setup (two layouts, one CSS file) is a clean reference for anyone starting a static blog without bloat. Posts are plain Markdown files in a flat directory, exactly the format you'd want if you're migrating away from a database-backed blog.

Fourteen posts over eight years, last one in 2016 — this is a dead blog. The 808 forks are all people who used it as a Jekyll starter template a decade ago, not a real community signal. There's nothing here you'd subscribe for or feature as an active project; the repo's reputation is entirely borrowed from the author's name.
