Hey, it was for the podcast. XML and JSON, too.

I can't wrap my head around Go templates.
And I refuse to use a theme someone else made. ;)
@amin you don't, you create your own
I know, but that requires Go templates which as I mentioned I can't wrap my brain around.

what even does that mean
@amin basically you have a context (which is a page), in most cases this is going to be a "page" object...

@amin THIS MADE ME REALIZE I NEED TO RECOMPILE https://testing.fbievan.live, because i haven't compiled since last year
@amin look at the copyright date at the bottom, lol

George is a moron. Here's an AI version of him:@amin im not sure exactly what dunsm is doing here though
