Tonight I built and shipped my own personal Content Delivery Network 🚀

A FTP-accessible folder on a distant server with proper conf, a subdomain pointing to it, a root url added before every media link in my static site source code, and

✨ voilà ✨

Content
Delivered
through the Network.

Thank you, good night.

There are some buzzwords that definitely grind my gears more than others. Two that come to mind:

- elevate : usually a hollow attempt at selling you overpriced or useless things

- luxury x, x being anything from a house to a soap bar : usually an attempt at making you feel like you are better than those who cannot afford this particular object

What are some of yours ?

Salient advice for these times:

"Have an API-first mentality: The API must be the primary interface for any new business functionality going forward - we need composable building blocks. Like Lego blocks but for making money, not nerds."

-and-

"Automate Automation: Someone once said, 'Less is more,' and I call that person a coward. [TORTURED SPORTS METAPHOR INVOLVING AT-BATS, FREE THROWS, OR DOWNS AT THE GOAL LINE] More is more!"
