Professional blog I've ran for over 10 years now. Started it because I wanted to separate coding and more professional stuff from the rants of my personal blog.
For a while I used to get a pretty decent amount of side work from it just helping people with their Apache configs/mass redirects. Had a nice little cottage industry. It's mostly died off in the last couple years. Everyone moved to nginx?
It's built on a creaky but honestly very expressive PHP/MySQL framework I built for the company I worked for at the time, 10 years ago. Bits and pieces of it have been moved into a modern MVC and I've got a front controller that sends requests to the MVC, if that fails it falls back to the old framework. Works surprisingly well. There's also a handful of Go on the back end and the front end (WASM). It's a mess, but it's my mess. I know people like to use pre-packaged stuff these days but just fiddlin' with it is fun.
The layout of the homepage is currently a little stretched because I can't get the GitHub gists of the most recent post to behave. My homepage gets like no traffic though, so I'm not too worried. The individual page is on the other hand get quite a bit.
