jpage··on Is Personal Website Required?
I tried a lot of tech stacks and platform. In the end I decided upon the basic html hand coded theme.

Dilemma's I faced with personal website

  - Searched endlessly on internet what to include in the website
  - latest technology vs hand coding with latest specs

do folks believe personal website required? or what is your take on this?
