Corporate america seems addicted to acceleration and causing burnout.

I recently read a Microsoft article about AI, about “Frontier Firms”.

I think America needs to slow down.

When I read Microsoft’s article about “Frontier Firms”, I just fear that companies will use this as an excuse to fire workers and replace them with AI agents, and then over-work existing “high performing” employees.

What’s the difference between “malware” and “software”?

In my opinion, it’s the human who labels the code that. Code is merely a mechanism to modify data. It has no emotions, intent, “inherent evil-ness”, etc. Do hammers enjoy being used to hammer nails?

A gun is an inert piece of metal. So is a screwdriver, or a hammer. You can use them to hunt for food and build a house, or to hurt other people. Are they “safe”? When are they not “safe”?

Okay. So…business cards suck! They’re annoying, expensive to get printed, and get outdated quickly. I’ve been to so many networking events where I’ve gotten a stack of business cards, only to throw them away a few weeks later.

Let’s fix it with technology!

See below for a picture of my business card.

3 years ago, in 2022, I made a ReactJS package to render business cards in HTML:

Okay!!!

TL:DR; Don’t pay for a domain name. Don’t pay for hosting. It’ll teach you stuff but is annoying to maintain!

Use GitHub Pages. Or .carrd.co. It’s free. It’s simple. It works. It doesn’t cost $144/year. The build system is simple. It’s hard to mess up. And you can literally copy my site, or someone else’s.

I’ve gone through many different iterations of this:

2019: Custom HTML.
2020: ^^
2021: Hugo + GitHub Pages.
2022: Hugo with a custom theme.
2023: ReactJS custom site.
2024: ^^
2025: Back to Hugo + GitHub Pages.
