How to host your static blog for the cost of the domain only:

- Use Astro
- Buy a domain
- Deploy using Github Pages

Been doing this on many sites for years. Simple, works.

After 5 years of turning dj mixes into spotify playlists it looks like I'll have to retire mixes.it in it's current form due to changes on the Spotify API. ๐Ÿ˜ข

If an agentic coder writes some code in the woods and no-one is around to see it, then did it make a difference?

I've always thought similar of being a contractor/freelance. If I've done my job well, then I should be moving on soon enough.
