Idk why but it feels like lately i've such a pessimist approach to any new-tech (barring languages)
Any new framework or wrapper or CI/CD handler and without even seeing beyond description my instinct goes "fuccccccccck this, I hate it, it'll break things"

I wonder if theres a way to fix this mindset T__T or am I just getting old idkkk

This, my hobby projects are all on stuff that's at least 30 years old

Exactly this. And you're right - modern stuff is far more likely to break, needs a bunch of extra skills to achieve nothing worth having, costs a fortune to host (on AWS, of course...), is slow to render and can only be modified, even very slightly, with extreme care. Well, that's how it seems to me, anyway.

I kinda want to play with nginx.

You are getting old

@spongegeoff ikr it's like reinventing the wheel but ending up with a triangle and saying "we'll improve the performance by increasing the vertices to 5 in the coming releases!" n by then there's a new differently coloured triangle on the market
@Demolishun as in its source code to make something?
