## Medium

> [en] The real reason for all this work is that I think that a personal site should be personal and to make it personal, one should ==solely be guided by one’s intuition and not by the mental models of available tools== and the restrictions they impose on your thoughts.

Je me faisais la réflexion récente de faire beaucoup moins de liens vers la plateforme Medium et je m’en réjouis. J’ai la flemme de faire des statistiques mais 2020 semble vraiment être un tournant à ce niveau là. Peut-être que davantage de personnes sachant aligner des balises <abbr title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</abbr> ont pris le temps pendant cette pandémie de s’aménager un espace. En tout cas c’est très encourageant !

> [en] My favorite aspect of websites is their duality: they’re both subject and object at once. In other words, ==a website creator becomes both author and architect simultaneously==. There are endless possibilities as to what a website could be. What kind of room is a website? Or is a website more like a house? A boat? A cloud? A garden? A puddle? Whatever it is, there’s potential for a self-reflexive feedback loop: when you put energy into a website, in turn the website helps form your own identity.
