> Joost de Valk, founder of Yoast SEO, wrote about how he migrated his personal blog from WordPress to Astro, the hottest new JavaScript framework in town, and suggested the blasphemous idea that not all sites need a CMS (he’s since migrated again to EmDash, which I talk about later)
That's a weird thing to read. (Not criticism for the author or the article)
> Migrated his personal blog
Is that a thing worth mentioning? I did that over a decade ago.

I thought it's 2026 now, not early 2010s. People still do that?

Yoast SEO is a huge paid plugin for Wordpress, so the founder not using Wordpress is at least moderately interesting, in a "cobbler buys shoes at walmart" kind of way.
I had no idea it was a product. I thought it was an SEO firm. That is a bit more interesting. But I also wouldn't be very surprised when a cobbler that makes work boots, buys sneakers from Walmart.

Is it? People still haven't accepted this?
