“How can people who claim to be for _____ support _____?”

Well, you see, you are talking about dishonest people who do not believe in anything

Two somewhat contradictory beliefs I hold:

1. You should absolutely overengineer your personal homepage/blog/projects. Experiment with as many things as you can as quickly as possible.

2. If you _really_ wanted to write that blog post, you'd figure it out with a .txt file. Don't overcomplicate it.
