Portrait of Anshuman Kumar, software engineer at Flexera in Bangalore

I write about software, AI, and the things I get up to away from the keyboard: running, cycling, board games, cooking when I can, coffee, and films.

    A visit to Hampi, and what it showed me about the history I learnt in school versus the history I never did.

  2. My Blog's MCP Server Finally Got a Lock (Part 2)

    Part 2 of the blog-MCP saga: someone pointed out my server had no auth, so in one day I added Auth0 OAuth, tests, a deploy fix, and notes, then checked that the lock actually works.

anshumankumar.net got an A+ on the Website Carbon Calculator: cleaner than 93% of pages tested, 0.04 g of CO2 per visit, on sustainable energy. Modeled at 10,000 monthly views (generous, I know), that's about 4.5 kg of CO2 a year.

Jamstack wins again. Prebuilt static files on a CDN means almost nothing to transfer and nothing to compute per request. The cheap option is also the clean one.

If your site is mostly content, try it: pick a static site generator, push to git, deploy to a CDN, then run your URL through the calculator and see how you stack up.
