Law 0: Fix infra.

This looks like a static website that could be served for free from Cloudflare Pages or Vercel, with a nearly unlimited quota. And still... It's been hugged to death, which is ironic, considering it's a software engineering website :).

  • Hell, something like this probably doesn't even need that. Throw it on a debian box running nginx or apache and you'll probably be set (though, with how hard bots have been scraping recently it might be harder than that)

Law 1: caching is 90-99% of performance.

  • are you saying performance is 90-99% caching? If so that is so obviously untrue.

    If you are saying you _can_ fix 90-99% of performance bottlenecks eventually with caching, that may be true, but doesn't sound as nice

Prior probability of a prompt-created website: 50%.

Posterior probability of a prompt-created website: 99%.

So somebody who doesn’t know how to properly host a static website wants to teach me about software engineering. Cool. 99% sure it’s a vibecoded container for AI slop anyway.
