Another push to get people off #substack is prompting IT professionals to write posts about how easy it is to set up your own site.

I beg you to stop. You are not helping. People are reading your posts and thinking 'that seems really complicated... I can' t do that'.

Every single post about self-hosting is literally that Simpsons gag about fixing the foundations to your own house "And if you don't have ceramic stuck-o-lath then aluminium stuck-o-lath will work just as well!"

IT is a really interesting profession... No other profession seems to produce people who think that the highly-technical skills for which they are well paid are just common sense.

Even when Gordon Ramsay made TV shows yelling at rubbish cooks his standpoint was generally a) why didn't you learn this at catering college, b) why haven't your previous employers helped you to develop these skills, and c) why did you decide to open a restaurant despite having no training?
