Why I moved away from Medium to GitHub Pages
It has been more than a year since I last updated my Medium space. Unfortunately, Medium does not seem to be the right tool for me anymore. As a technical person, I find it too limited for the way I write, especially when it comes to things like code formatting and syntax highlighting.
Since I already use Markdown and Git every day, and recently discovered that GitHub has native support for publishing Jekyll sites, moving there felt like a natural choice. So I decided to make the switch, and hopefully it will motivate me to publish more often.

Why this move makes more sense for me
For now, I have only moved two existing articles over. I still have a bunch of drafts related to Spark, Airflow on Kubernetes, and Terragrunt, and I hope I will have time to finish them.
One drawback of using Jekyll on GitHub Pages is comment management, which is definitely less straightforward than on Medium. I will try to figure out a good solution for that in the future.
Still, overall this setup feels much closer to the way I already work, and that makes it a better fit for me.
