If there is one thing that I want the reader to take away from this post, it is that electric cars are not the best for the environment and that there is a long time before they are adopted. There are multiple factors that are responsible for this. Even after their adoption, they will not stomp over petrol or diesel cars because petrol cars are just more accessible.

This post is just a quick update to announce a hard decision that I have made. I have switched the font on this website from JetBrains Mono to Courier New . This change was made because I feel like JetBrains Mono looks more fitting in a terminal because it looks janky on a website. Courier New is a monospace font but still maintains the feeling and look I want from my website.
This change has had an unintended benefit. Previously, my website's homepage weighed around 50KB in size which is spectacular. However, what I did not realize was that around 40KB were being taken up by JetBrains Mono. By switching to a default typeface, my website now weighs a shockingly low 12KB. If you would like to view the full GTMetrix report, do so here.

+Clutter
+Icons cluttered my website. No matter how hard I tried, they never looked right on all devices at once. If it was working fine on desktop, it wasn't on mobile and vice versa. This led to hours trying to adjust the size and position of each icon to make sure they looked good which they never did.
+Readability
+The last point ties into this one. The removal of icons led to clear lists, text and headings. I did not expect the website to look this much better without icons. This makes the website look consistent.
+Easier
+Removing icons makes my job a whole lot easier. I don't have to worry about how an icon will look. I just copy-paste a folder and start typing away.
+Conclusion
+To sum it up, I removed icons because they made my website look cluttered. Without them, my website is more readable and is easier for me to work on.

+ If you browsed my website recently, you would have noticed that I removed all icons. There are many reasons for this change. The TLDR is that my love for quirky icons spiraled into flaming anger whenever I had to align them properly. I will go into more detail in this post.
+Clutter
+Icons cluttered my website. No matter how hard I tried, they never looked right on all devices at once. If it was working fine on desktop, it wasn't on mobile and vice versa. This led to hours trying to adjust the size and position of each icon to make sure they looked good which they never did.
+Readability
+The last point ties into this one. The removal of icons led to clear lists, text and headings. I did not expect the website to look this much better without icons. This makes the website look consistent.
+Easier
+Removing icons makes my job a whole lot easier. I don't have to worry about how an icon will look. I just copy-paste a folder and start typing away.
+Conclusion
+To sum it up, I removed icons because they made my website look cluttered. Without them, my website is more readable and is easier for me to work on.

Updates
Debloating my website has been an educational experience to say the least. There were so many small things which seemed insignificant at first but made a massive difference to the speed of my website. Most of these changes have had little to no impact on the look and feel of my website but have reduced the size and improved the efficiency by a lot.
One of these changes was definitely moving away from Font Awesome. I did not think much of the icons on my website as they were already too many in size for me to switch every single one to another library. However, after watching this video from Eric Murphy, I thought about it. Then, I still said no because there were way too many icons on my website.
Then, I did a GTMetrix scan of my website and saw that my icons and fonts were taking up 90% of my website's initial load resources. That forced me to take on the challenge to change every single icon to SVGs. It was much easier than expected.
