The nostalgia is well-placed!

I think old technologies never really die out, but rather shift from popular use to niche use, and often get more interesting during the transition. The pain points of the new and old systems become directly comparable and opting in to the old (or parts of it) becomes deliberate. This site, for example, is handcrafted on purpose, rather than out of necessity (as it would have been on early GeoCities), but still has a GitHub.io mirror - the old and the new live congenially together.

And I love it. Thanks for all the joy.
