Starting a site again
- #meta
Placeholder post — replace with your own writing.
I’ve had a personal site three times before and abandoned it three times, always for the same reason: I built a publishing system instead of publishing anything.
So this one is deliberately small. Markdown files in a folder, a static build, no database, no admin panel. If writing a post is harder than opening an editor, I won’t do it.
What goes here
Mostly working notes. The things I figure out and would otherwise forget: a debugging session that took a day and should have taken ten minutes, a pattern that turned out to be worth the trouble, an opinion I’ve changed.
What doesn’t
Anything I’d be writing for an audience rather than for myself in two years. That constraint has kept the quality of my notebooks up, and it should work here too.
