Old web energy, modern tools
I still like the spirit of early personal pages: personality first, polish second, usefulness always.
There is something worth keeping from older personal websites: they felt authored. You could sense taste, obsession, and the willingness to leave edges visible.
Modern tooling is better, but I do not want the spirit to flatten out just because the stack got stronger. The goal is not nostalgia for its own sake. The goal is to keep personality and directness while using better foundations.
