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 used to ship the same way! Also was quite fond of using SFTP on SublimeText to work directly on the remote server so I could share updates with my colleagues in real time - they thought I was a wizard. People are spoiled with their automatic hosting and Ci/CD setups nowadays and honestly should just set up a simple web server themselves to learn how it works.

Totally agree!! I’ve done that quite a bit with my Pi and hosting apps on VPS’ are coming back in style. My text editor Zed recently just added an SSH feature where you can go into a server and edit the code base there which is nice too.
