This is the kind of stuff you read on 4chan as memes about orange site.
While going through all that you decided to create a website of all things and update it by hand editing html.
Normal people, and I hate saying that, would create a facebook/WhatsApp group or something like that.
I'm not making fun of you or anything, not everyone has the same lives, I'm just amazed by the hn crowd.
- Pxtl 3y agoI mean even if you are going to make a self-hosted site for this, like, there's software you can use where you're not using raw html. I use a static site generator that takes markdown. I don't find markdown too hard to write on mobile, as long as I don't need images.
- mdp2021 3y agoI was about to comment that using an LLM to update a static site can be seen as overkill like using napalm bombing against mosquitoes, and you post about those considering odd to have your own services to publish basic information... > amazed by the hn crowd ... [whereas] Normal people... I have seen members of the "madding crowd" amazed by people reading a book. And not one: many, in different increasingly bewildering capacities. (Including "law enforcement", calling it "suspicious behaviour".) Be careful of what can be called "normalcy" nowadays.
- mabbo 3y agoI'm not disagreeing with you. This was a very bad idea. But I was a few hours away from becoming a parent, hadn't slept much in days, and was not thinking very well. Sub-optimal decisions were made.
- zogrodea 3y agoCongratulations on parenthood. I thought the decision was very much overkill myself, but it's impressive you had the determination and skill to execute it while in the state you describe. I doubt I would be able to.
