What's the technology behind the blog? It's clean, minimal and beautiful.

It's a Jekyll site. I originally built it off of a popular theme (back in 2014 or so), but these days the theme is just a custom thing that I've cobbled together.

(So, in a sense, there's no real technology "behind" it. It's just Markdown with a little HTML templating, with Jekyll as the SSG.)

Thanks for the reply. Is the code available by any chance?

Unfortunately not -- it used to be in a public repo, but I also track drafts and other things now that I don't want to be public until they're ready.

I'll see if I can clean it up into a public repository, but no guarantees :-)
