I have been considering it as an alternative to Medium, although Medium does have the best distribution story out there so far.
Am also curious how many DevOps'ish readers are using IE6 to read his website. :)
I'm curious how this plays into other advice I've read from content creators, that delivery consistency is key. And that the cadence you should finalize on should be something like N-1, where N is the amount of content you can consistently produce in a period. That way you have a pipeline and a backlog to allow you to take time off, or be sick. You can create 20 webcomics a month? Great, find 3 days a week to publish. 20% overcapacity seems to be a good number based on multiple sources I've seen from mostly solo producers, and it allows them to be consistent while not burning out.
DNS and good source IPs are mentioned and it starts off as if it's going to be fairly technical, but then talks about ideal cadences, and some guy called Gareth. Then markdown and Hugo?
Good writing, but I would suggest more thinking about what your point is and then making it.
The OP didn’t pitch this as an exhaustive reference of every issue that can come up, but it’s a good sampler of the kind of problems you have to deal with, and stuff that most people wouldn’t even think about.
