My trusty 2015 13” MacBook Pro was badly in need of some TLC as not only did I buy the already expensive base model (sporting a 5th gen Intel Core i5 processor and a whopping 128GB SSD at roughly $1300 back in the day), it had gone for 5 whole years without being disassembled and cleaned. With the tiny hard drive, for months if not years, I kept encountering the “Your disk is almost full” message followed by system crashes and would be forced to use either Grand Perspective to analyze my disk space usage and delete the largest files I could find or empty my Downloads or Trash (and sometimes delete files I realized I needed later - oops).

I recently decided to migrate my personal website to use Hugo instead of the Vanilla JS, HTML, & CSS used by my previous site. Jump to the second section for a quick how-to. – A Little About This Site’s Predecessor Inspired by Brutalism, my previous personal site was pretty barebones. Including little more than links to my contact information, a resume, a few lines about myself and my work history, I figured it needed some updating to appeal to potential employers or recruiters clicking the link provided on my resume.
