Coding is a dead link: https://whatcanidofor.archlinux.org/coding https://whatcanidofor.archlinux.org/coding. https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/neoasknot/-/tree/main/src/content/children https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/neoasknot/-/tree/main... looks like it might be the implementation for the site. The likes of https://whatcanidofor.archlinux.org/coding/Rust https://whatcanidofor.archlinux.org/coding/Rust do work.

Seems to work when you go to that link via the homepage but fails to load when you use a direct link or refresh the page. It appends a / to the URL when you use the direct link, which I assume is what breaks it.

  Ah. Badly-implemented isomorphic rendering, with client-side routing that works, but a server-side implementation that’s partially broken. I disable JavaScript in general for a significantly better experience of the web, and didn’t suspect anything like this since everything else was working perfectly. Incidentally, I strongly oppose the use of client-side rendering for pages like this (not CSR in all cases, but yes for a site like this). Barring the small matter of this one broken page, the result is fairly uniformly inferior to the no-JavaScript version: it has a heavier footprint, doesn’t work as well (some history interactions are a touch dodgy, no loading throbber, can’t interrupt navigation with Escape, &c.), and feels slower than fresh page loads anyway. It’s foolish, harmful complexity.

Kind of like in real life. Software development leads you to nowhere.

You could alternatively (provided you have JS enabled), go to https://whatcanidofor.archlinux.org/coding/Rust https://whatcanidofor.archlinux.org/coding/Rust and then click on "Coding" from the navbar (it will load the page using some JS single page trickery).
