I miss the days where anybody could learn HTML/CSS/JQuery and make web pages, and Rails, or a LAMP stack was enough server-side. Building a website today requires learning a ton of different tools, languages and frameworks. All of them being moving targets, so by the time your website is done, some of its components are already deprecated. And you could go a long way with a $5/month shared web hosting service. Now, "the cloud" is not only super expensive, but it's also very hard to even guesstimate how much the next bill is going to be. Most people who would have made their own website now just turn into using platforms such Squarespace, or even don't have a website any more and only rely on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok.
