thx for the encouragement! i try to take criticism lightly, especially on hn, and especially when it's about a post on my personal website.

my website is my sacred & unique playground, not a perfectly optimized website. i write it all myself, and it evolves over time.

my style definitely strikes people the wrong way sometimes - i'm used to people being critical about it. i make some weird decisions for the sake of contorting my content into a form that i like, but i think that's what makes my content endearing. it's not like everything else out there. some rough edges, sure, but i'll get better over time as i explore my "personal form" :)

to me, a website is like a long-term art project. it should represent the author - and in my case, my site represents me, unabashedly.
