Why Personal Websites Are Coming Back

AI-generated article starts with the premise that personal sites are making a comeback, but doesn't support it; and overall doesn't say anything beyond they never left, and the tech is all the same. The styling may be intended to obfuscate the slop-ness of it.

I read it so that you don't have to.

Thanks. Why is ts in the front page

Agree it's light on data. The "evidence" cited is traction with the IndieWeb, Neocities, and Bear Blog. I'm not familiar with these, but Bear Blog seems to be relatively new (5-6 years) and growing?

The article resonated with me personally, though. I taught a continuing ed course on creating personal websites (with AOLpress!) in the late 90s and had my own until giving it up in 2016 or so, but coincidentally decided to try again this month.

I honestly don't know what explanation is worse when these pieces about the value of human expression are generated by an LLM. It's gotta be malicious trolling or complete delusion.

I think one of the biggest reasons personal websites are making a comeback is AI-powered web coding.

More and more non-technical people can now build things they’ve always wanted to build, including their own websites.

As a non-technical person myself, I built my own website simply because I’ve always loved building things, but never really had the medium or technical skills to do it.

Now I do and the medium is Claude code.

Can’t you fucking people go five seconds without making everything about Claude code? I mean Jesus fucking Christ next thing I’ll hear is that Claude code is responsible for the weather.

As if nobody made personal websites because html and CSS was too difficult. Ever heard of FrontPage? Fuck me.

> Hosting companies can change...Point your domain somewhere else when you need to move. That is a much healthier relationship with technology.

I went from Azure to Github for hosting so I guess my relationship with Microsoft stayed the same?

I actually moved my WEB Site to Gemini with a mirror on Gopher. My site is still active with links to the my G* Sites.

I find maintaining both Gemini and Gopher is much easier than the WEB.
