What do you do when you're on a holiday in Cyprus? Swim in the sea? Relax by the pool? Well, if you're me, you obviously go to a rave festival (BEON1X) but you also decide it's the perfect time to build your freelance website! Here's how it all went down:
Terraform, 10 km in the air
Most people watch movies or sleep on planes. Me? I decided it was the perfect time to learn Terraform. Yep, while flying to Cyprus, I was busy figuring out how to manage infrastructure as code, because why not?
Coding in a Coffee Shop
After landing, I had a few hours to kill before meeting my friend. Naturally, I found a coffee shop, opened my laptop, and got to work. There’s something about coding in a new country that makes you feel like a digital nomad, even if it's just in an airport café.
The Result?
A shiny new website for my freelancing work, built with
- Terraform - Infrastructure as Code
- Hugo - Static Site Generator
- Cloudflare - for the DNS
- Github Actions - for the CI/CD
And yes, I managed to pick up Terraform along the way (still not sure how my brain did that on a plane ride). Moral of the story? You can mix work and play if you're a nerd like me.
