  41               <p>
  42                 Look I'm hardly the first to do this but I think we all know the
  43                 internet is shit now. Like. Really, really shit. It would be
  44                 naive to say that the internet was perfect in its early days.
  45                 But it was definitely less centralised, with many people
  46                 maintaining their own pages, using webrings to link to people
  47                 they like. It was collaborative and communicative and a platform
  48                 of passions.
  49               </p>
  50               <p>
  51                 Then for a while everyone was in the same place, although that
  52                 place changed every like. year or so. I never really used
  53                 MySpace or Bebo, but I got on Twitter really early and gave
  54                 myself lifelong Poster's Sickness.
  55               </p>
  56               <p>
  57                 Obviously Twitter is absolute shite now and has been for a fair
  58                 while. I moved to bluesky, and that's ok, but every so often I
  59                 want to write longer Things. Usually about movies or games,
  60                 sometimes about programming stuff since that is... my job.
  61               </p>
  62               <p>
  63                 I used backloggd for games for a bit but the culture on that
  64                 site fucking annoyed me, and I don't think letterboxd is likely
  65                 to be any better. So instead I can make my own website without a
  66                 comment website. Then if you want to disagree with me you can dm
  67                 me directly and then we can digitally kiss.
  68               </p>
  69               <p>
  70                 So yeah. Programming is my job, and because the web is stupid
  71                 now, most of what I work on is in Angular or Razor. Which do
  72                 have their conveniences, but also they're kind of a pain when
  73                 you just want to make something simple to scratch down thoughts
  74                 in.
  75               </p>
  76               <p>
  77                 Also I'm pretty sure an Angular SPA would get very mad at you if
  78                 you tried to put a marquee tag in it. And since marquee is the
  79                 greatest tag in the history of the web, we can't have that.
