<p>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 <a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/">JetBrains Mono</a> to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courier_(typeface)">Courier New</a>. 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.</p>

<p>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, <a href="website-report.pdf">do so here.</a></p>
