Giving up
I give up. I'm too lazy to build my own personal site, much less maintain one with content and new features.
At work I am organized and willing to spend the time to develop a process. For personal projects? Lazy and unwilling to do more than the minimum. After a few tries at building and maintaining a statically generated site, I'm giving up. Instead I will fork over a few bucks to Herman to host this site for me.
I know I'm not alone in my imagined view of myself as a technologist who can do all the things. Self host everything from my closet. Run a personal cloud. Build everything from scratch. That's far from the reality where I don't have the drive to do that kind of thing outside of work. There's nothing wrong with this reality, it can be hard to accept when you have fantasies of being that type of nerd.
By giving up, I'm freeing myself of those constraints I placed around myself. Now for the first time in a while I'm writing a blog post. And I didn't have to run any git commands or wait for a static site build. I'm just slapping some markdown in a form in a browser and calling it good.
