First, let's talk about the DNS management. You would think that something as simple as pointing a domain name to an IP address would be straightforward, but no. There's always some bizarre propagation delay or weird caching issue that makes you question your sanity.
Use a DNS service that doesn’t suck. I’ve not touched my blog’s Route53 in years.
Oh, you want all your images to be cached at the edge so they're super snappy for everyone visiting your page, but you also want to bust your cache each time you publish a new version of your site? Fuck you! Figure it out and do it yourself.
RTFM on your cache’s invalidation process. If the service you use doesn’t provide adequate docs, spend your money elsewhere.
GoDaddy DNS
Well there’s your problem. Stop using GoDaddy for anything remotely important in your life.
Cloudflare accounts and cache settings and tier-locked behavior to worry about
Cloudflare has some of the most idiot-proof UI design I’ve used. If you can’t figure that out the problem is with you.
Then there are the Node.js and Vue.js version upgrades, which feel like a relentless, never-ending battle.
There’s nothing on your blog that needs javascript, it is just paragraphs of text styled by CSS. The experience is not enhanced by it, and disabling it renders the site unusable. Your blog fails the most basic of usability tests.
I've learned even more about full-stack development than I would have otherwise
You have erected a skyscraper just to sell lemonade in the lobby.
I remember all the GoDaddy commercials growing up and I had no idea what they were actually about. I thought it was some kind of porn website based on the adverts.

Hence their near complete domination of their market segment, as horny IT people and horny managers did think so, too.
