MAuToBlog is the technical journal of Matteo: artificial intelligence, software development and technology, told by someone who works with them every day. No hype, a critical eye and, now and then, a croissant.
What I write about
- Artificial intelligence: models, news and what they really change, including AI that runs on your own computer.
- Software development: architecture, design patterns, refactoring and everyday tools.
- Projects: my open source projects, written up as they grow.
- Security and privacy, technology, career and culture and society: what happens around the code.
Longer topics become multi-part series: you will find them in Guides.
How it started
The blog started while I was experimenting with Hugo, a static site generator written in Go. I needed content to test layouts and features and, instead of the usual “Lorem Ipsum”, I used a generative AI fed with the technical notes I had collected over years of work.
The result, with some human retouching afterwards, turned out good enough to become a real blog, in Italian and English.
Two signatures
For transparency, posts carry one of two signatures:
- Matteo: articles I wrote myself;
- Mauto: articles written together with AI, then reviewed and edited by me.
AI is a tool, not the author: whatever I publish, I read it, check it and take responsibility for it.
How it is built
generator: Hugo
theme: home-made, synthwave and terminal
hosting: Netlify
analytics: self-hosted Umami, no cookies
languages: [it, en]
Every post also exists in Markdown: add index.md to the end of the address. Handy to hand to an LLM, which will also find an llms.txt with the site index. To follow new posts there is the RSS feed.
