#2Oh how I miss the days of simple self-publishing from your WYSIWYG html editor direct to a cheap VPS.
Why's everything gotta be so complicated?

#3I will note that I favorited the tweet, and within seconds David Smooke followed me.
That timing seems just a little... odd.

In order to make things look simpler, we have to make them more complicated

#6I'm in the minority, but I like Medium.
But HN is just buzzword bingo and any good content they had (2 years ago) is gone.

You can still do that if that's what you want? Putting a website online isn't any harder today than in the past.

#9I don't know why they wouldn't have done their own Website to start with. It's not hard, at all. This arrangement put way, way too much power into a partner's hand. Also not clarifying rights before you publish something is just a seriously rookie move. Rule of thumb is that nothing gets published until you have the author rights agreement signed.
