- https://www.joshwcomeau.com/ - https://www.kalzumeus.com/ - https://pomb.us/ - https://jvns.ca/ - https://monicalent.com/ - https://www.taniarascia.com/ - https://seanbarry.dev/ Shameless plug, I quite like my own: https://ruairidh.dev

I like Kalzumeus' and your blog a lot. And Julia. Tania started out OK, but everything she's produced in the past 2 years is insipid. She seems pretty unlikable.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

https://ma.tt I wonder how much that domain costs. 2-letter domains are always sold at a premium regardless of TLD.

Matt Mullenweg actually registered the domain for $500 per year for the first 2 years :) .tt domains are quite expensive in general so I think he got a pretty good deal for ma.tt https://ma.tt/2008/01/on-matt/ Interesting conincidence, the .blog TLD used by diff.blog, is owned by Automattic, the company started by Matt Mullenweg :)

Ahh. Another coincidence. It's 18 years today since the first wordpres release was made by Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little.
