System prompt

This is a minimalist personal developer blog with an intentionally handwritten aesthetic. The site uses a strict monochromatic palette of pure white (#FFFFFF) background with black (#000000) text, with the only color being default browser blue links (#0000EE). Typography is entirely handwritten-style with Times New Roman as the base system font, creating an authentic notebook feel. The layout is a single centered column (800px max width) with generous whitespace and no visual chrome—no cards, shadows, borders, or decorative elements. Key donts: never add colorful accents or gradients, never use sans-serif typefaces, never add shadows or depth effects, never implement complex navigation UI, never use card-based layouts, and never introduce animations. The writing voice is personal and technically detailed. This site is worth including as an example of radical minimalism in web design, proving that compelling content can exist without visual complexity.
