Great stuff, looking forward to your next blog post in 1 year: “How I rebuilt my blog on…”

A fun hobby of mine is Googling “how I built this blog with [next.js/Gatsby/etc etc]” and going to page 10 of the Google results.

It’s just hundreds of developer blogs with no blog posts other than the ones announcing how the blog was built.

I’ve noticed this a lot, too, and made this drawing as a joke: https://rakhim.org/honestly-undefined/19/

Haha, been there. But this setup’s actually working really well for me. It’s not chasing the "hot new thing," it’s going back to stuff that’s proven and solid.

Is there a support group for this? I have not rebuilt my blog since Feb 21 2024 though I have been sorely tempted :P
