I learned Web Design back in 2001, back when AltaVista was a more popular search engine than Google. Lol. I promptly fell out of love with the field and diverted my career. I used WordPress for the first time in 2025. I found it very powerful but fiddly. I have to admit I still prefer plain old HTML, CSS and JS. Dinosaur :D

What clicked for me recently was treating skills as composable. Having meta-skills that call smaller skills in order. The "skill vs command vs subagent" confusion partly dissolves once you let skills call other skills. The meta-skill holds the workflow state, the smaller ones each do one job well.

Good shout on grabbing from the original CD. The mono and lower bitrate is almost always install-footprint maths. Stereo CD audio is ~10MB per minute. Halve the channels, drop the bitrate, the soundtrack fits in a few MB. Worth the swap if you've still got the disc.

There's one Peter Levels, and I don't even think he's actually Peter Levels. I think he's a dude who went viral, so now anything he does gets traffic.

ALWAYS, it comes down to one thing. If you built the best thing in the world, and no one visits it, then it's a "failure" at least in terms of earning anything.
