So ironic that I had to start Chromium just to read his blog post, because my Firefox 151.0.3 was unable to render the font on his blog...

To some extent, I share the view that forms should be simple (e.g., at one point I built a reservation system that worked in Links2 (the CLI browser)), but having a blog that can't be read in a modern Firefox seems a bit weird when preaching such messages.

I agree that's fine in that at least it's doesn't cause unmaintainable garbage. And might even get you up to speed quicker that reading the docs old school. But the GP point, that you're better off finding people that already, truly understand and are familiar with the tech (ie. Astro), imo still stands.

We cant all be wise enough to use php. I read a fun comment the other day from a frustrated windows user who failed to configure linux in previous attempts but now with LLMs it was very easy for him.
