A web designer, I learned this lesson from all the Squarespace sites I saw launched when the platform first hit the scene, and I think a lot of other fields are going to learn it too due to AI. Just because you can do something yourself, does not mean you should do something yourself.

I would like the word “cooked”, when used in the way that probably also makes you grown, to be retired. It like nails on a chalkboard whenever I read it in a post, no matter how much I agree with it.
“...help creators and publishers grow their audiences, and we offer clear controls for website owners to manage their content.” It's wild to see Google talk to website owners in the same way Instagram does to creators. Is Google search just another platform now? gizmodo.com/major-publis...
Major Publishers Are Reportedly Considering a Drastic Step to Get Their Content Out of Google's AI Answers

An Argument for Descaling
For the last few years I’ve been quietly dreading Google Zero, the term coined by Nilay Patel 1 for the day Google stops sending traffic to websites at all. As someone who makes his living building websites, and who has his own to worry about, it felt like watching a slow-motion collapse I couldn’t do […]
