don't let Web nostalgia obscure a positive Web future
This has always been something I'm an advocate for. Draw inspiration from the 90s/2000s web, but don't rely on old and outdated hacks. Take advantage of the capabilities we have today, but don't go overboard with modern bloat.

If HTML and CSS are so simple, why haven't static sites reigned supreme?
Why haven’t static site generators reigned supreme? It's not that HTML and CSS aren’t simple, they both be simple and difficult at the same time.

One thing that I have found while implementing my own metadata library is that metadata could be a lot better. I've had to do a lot of manual editing to get things looking nice.
