"Many haters want you to buy their message queue product" lol
I made the same comment on Twitter and the pm for Workers said that they are aware and are actively working on it. So I am optimistic it will improve significantly over the coming months.

It's my real name :)

(I had thought it translated to "Son of man" which is kind of a beautiful way to say human being)

Nailed it ... they were experts in firmware and systems programming and had never really done web development before (that said, they were working very hard to do a good job, just unfortunate that they were set up for failure in a lot of ways).

I had my site fronted with CF previously w/ an origin on S3 and it cost about $0.53/mo (super cheap). CF Pages current pricing is free for unlimited bandwidth which is pretty incredible - https://pages.cloudflare.com/#pricing

Thanks for following up! Looks like that setting was on from an old version of the site. Probably not a super common thing for people who are onboarding to CF Pages (previously my origin was on AWS) and I migrated to Pages.

I actually loved the "Day 1" philosophy but you are 100% right, it is no longer Day 1.

Really glad it came across that way (that was definitely my intent).

https://3be909f6.personal-site-v4.pages.dev/ has the updated styles but the change doesnt seem to have propagated to domain yet (made the background pure white instead of grey)

Its "sign-on payments" now - so essentially you get a salary augmentation for your first 2 years (and its applied to each paycheck) so you don't need to pay anything back when you leave.

- it has an 8+ contrast ratio so I thought it would be ok (also been mostly working in dark mode) - will update. Thanks for your feedback.
Wow - incredible design polish. Thanks for making this tool!

Great example of a beautifully designed site using Gatsby.js, Preact, VX, and Animateplus.
