Why I built my own corner of the internet

Platforms come and go. A personal hub built on files, git, and boring technology is the only thing I can promise will still exist in ten years.

Every platform I have ever published on has either died, changed its rules, or buried my work under an algorithm. The lesson took a decade to sink in: rent an audience, own a home.

This site is that home. It follows three rules:

  1. Content is files. Everything here is a Markdown file in a git repository. No database to migrate, no export button to hope for.
  2. Boring beats clever. The stack is deliberately dull — a static site generator, a CSS framework, a host. It must still build unattended in two years.
  3. Minimum friction between writing and publishing. If publishing takes more than a commit, I will stop doing it.

Expect essays, shorter notes, reviews of things I actually use, the occasional paper, and small interactive experiments. If you want to know when something new lands, there is a newsletter — one email per publication, nothing else.
