As a little follow-up/reality check to my previous post, I’d like to document my frustration with configuring and launching a new Astro site on Cloudflare, which feels ironic.

I’ve recommended Cloudflare Pages in my Budget Website guide for years as the free, git-connected way to host a static site.

There’s a lot of hand-wringing on the Internet about engineers using LLMs to code: whether we’re doing ourselves a disservice, letting our skills atrophy, getting dumber, shooting ourselves in the foot, digging our own graves, etc.

import Alert from “@components/Alert.astro”; A short parable about trust, taste, and the difference between a job and a craft.

import { Image } from “astro:assets”; import cheaty_flashcards_play from “~/assets/blog/cheaty-flashcards-play.png”; My niece just finished the fourth grade and we were commiserating about learning multiplication tables.

This month I had the opportunity to take Starlight for test drive as a demo for my team’s internal documentation.

I have enjoyed using Astro to run both this site and DBaaS Review.

This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, and so I have some visibility to the traffic.

I just started working for a consulting firm called Fidelity Solutions.

I have developed and written about my own static site search library for Astro.
