Lol.

1. Back in the 90’s it was Apache, not NGINX. 2. Cool kids today make a blog w/ Jamstack and don’t mess w/ NGINX. 3. People who blog on medium seem to be more hung up on getting a domain name than anything else (either $10 a year is not worth it or paying $10 a year means you’ve been ‘canceled’ by big tech or something…)

The ignorance of those people is not so much technical but in the domain of marketing and branding. Like ‘data scientists’ who think they are too good to run unit tests or type ‘git commit’ they think being high status is letting other people do things for you, so in their bizzaro world being on medium makes you look like a somebody and having your own domain makes you a nerd, a tool or something like that.

Thank God people who won’t register a domain name won’t figure out how to make a crypto wallet so they’ll always be looking from the outside in, wishing they had a bored ape of their own.
