I haven't been someone else's employee for 20 years, so the title immediately drew my attention.

One click later, "Error establishing a database connection". HN seems to have hugged this guy's site to death.

Reality - a simple blog should hardly ever need a database server for content.
The problem is wordpress does require a database server by default.
And reality is most blogs could be better served by a static web host platform with lower maintenance and less security risks.
Then the reality is that the blog should be migrated to fully static contents. You have generators, many of them (f.ex. Zola), where you write Markdown files, run a command and run `rsync` to your host.
