I like the meme of the personal webpage, which has sort of fallen by the wayside with the rise of social media.

It's one of those ideas that spreads because you see other people doing it: You get the OG blogs still up with 90s styling, student blogs with like 2 posts, and longform explorations of trying to squeeze out every ms of performance from D3 by rewriting parts of it in WASM [1], which link to the posts that it was inspired by, an even crazier attempt which tries to turn off all its safeties.

It forms an entire ecosystem, to which Hackernews, Google, et etc, form a kind of gateway into the canopy of a blogosphere.

One more thing: can we do more linking? Like, have a section of our blogs that's basically, "here are the blogs of a bunch of people I find interesting"? Is there a reason why we don't do that (spam or harassment)?
