Ooh thank you for recommending these to me! Github Pages looks like it's definitely what I'm interested in, and it looks like Linode is exactly what I want. And it's the same price range as HostGator too.

I'll steer clear of HostGator and other such ancient spaghetti systems ;D

oh, i was actually complaining haha. i find it difficult to understand examples when they use a lot of good practices, like 1. many constant names. 2. referring to code examples in another file, commit, or branch (vs commenting out alternatives), 3. bogging down code with catching errors, etc.

but that constant you provided makes sense, i wouldn't recognize that number.

like the sadness level from "can't afford a switch" to "laid off and mom died" is a nosedive

then the resolution frame, the sadness from "can't afford a switch" is alleviated, but the sadness from "laid off and mom died" is still there, with the punchline being that... only a small bit of relief happens, and we're experiencing the best part of that

with extra punchline of doge react faces.

i feel bad calling it a "punchline" but it's the best i can do to articulate my original interpretation of this piece

oh there's a whole storyline here? i thought it was a joke with some kind of dark humor that i (thought i) understood but can't articulate.

oh same. there are a few other neat features i know about (like a tool to help with binary-searching for a specific commit that introduces a bug) but i'd have to google those.

but they don't know how to use those properly is the thing :c and i can't blame them, they're not software engineers, but still, aaaa
