@brianleroux No problem. Except often we render on the b/e (or "generate HTML") in response to a request, when we could have done that at build time & de-risked all of our hosting infrastructure.
Not all cases of course, but do blogs really need a DB to reply to get requests? (For example)
My tweets and posts live here on my own domain these days.
You can explore them here and follow me on Mastodon instead of Twitter where I'm not currently active.
