How This Site Works: Architecture for a One-Person Team The technical architecture behind a fast, SEO-friendly content site built by one person. SSG, Web Components, HTMX, and the business logic behind each choice.

Progressive Enhancement with HTMX: Ship Fast, Degrade Gracefully How HTMX lets small teams ship dynamic-feeling sites without the cost and complexity of a full JavaScript framework.

Web Components as a Business Decision Why Web Components are a pragmatic choice for small teams that need reusable UI without framework lock-in, hiring constraints, or migration risk.

Less JavaScript, More Leverage: Why I Ship With a 35KB Budget Cutting JavaScript isn't a purity contest - it's a business decision that compounds in speed, cost, reliability, and team velocity.

Static Site Generation: The Business Case for Pre-Rendered HTML Why pre-rendering HTML at build time is the highest-leverage hosting decision for content sites - faster pages, lower costs, and less operational risk.
