A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

Currently working on a personal blog post about self taught programming and remembered how I used to ship stuff. Was just a server on dreamhost that also had the domain I purchased. Just used FileZilla to drop html css and js files into the right folder, and that was it. 

No version control, no GitHub, no CI/CD. Just overwriting files to a cloud. Sounds awful now, but also kind of nostalgic. The lesson: just ship it, don’t worry about the how.

I remember the days. 

FTP files to a temp directory on a server
Terminal services in
Copy current files into a different temp folder
Move new ones to overwrite the old 
Test it ( visual inspection)

At some point and I can’t remember when, we got the ability to copy files into a Remote Desktop and didn’t always need to ftp 

Good times.
