The more I learn about oEmbed, the more it feels like a perfect encapsulation of everything wrong with modern web design. Half a dozen different requests to reparse and transform the same content into a turducken of an HTML tag and Javascript runtime inside a JSON file generated by parsing an HTML page that already loaded on the same server, just to generate an iframe that points back to the original page rendered with a different HTML template. Like, this API really could just be a sidecar file, there is absolutely no justifiable reason for it to be an API in the first place, but also, that sidecar file could just be a plain `<link rel="alternate">` tag!
("JS developers don't want to have to learn how to render the same content with two different templates" seemed like the reason for it to be built like this at first glance, but they've gotta do that anyway to make the iframe target work! Also that is not a problem that backend developers OR static-generator users need a solution for, and being forced to do it that way comically overcomplicates what *should* be one of the most basic things to do, which is to render the same content with a different template/format and specify a link to that in the header tags for applications looking for a specific alternate version)

There’s a thing I picked up from my dad and the fitters who worked in my grandfather’s workshop: own your tools. That way you’re not tied to your employer, you can take your tools and your skills to another job any time you please.
I was once on the position where the only laptop I had access to was owned by my employer. It made my teeth itch.
It’s just one more reason I am deeply suspicious of LLMs for coding. And all the other rented software out there, for that matter.

Good!
