When I'm browsing GitHub, I'll often click on the websites that developers put in their profiles. Most of these personal sites fall into one of the following categories:
- The domain name was registered but the site doesn't exist.
- The site is a single-page splash screen with the developer's name and links to their social media accounts.
- The site is a half-finished attempt at using a static site generator. There's no real content so it looks phoned-in and incomplete.
- The developer made a couple of technical blog posts back in 2016 and then stopped. Probably because they discovered that writing technical blog posts isn't very fun.
Maybe 1 in 10 developer sites contain anything interesting at all.
