A developer shares lessons learned from rebuilding their personal website using PHP and the Mezzio framework after years of using static site generators like Hugo and Sculpin. Key insights include starting with familiar technologies, using third-party packages extensively, implementing QA tools rigorously, planning CI/CD pipelines early, and resisting the urge to chase new technologies during initial development. The rebuild involved creating custom packages for Markdown blogging and static pages, deploying with Docker to Fly.io, and using Tailwind CSS for the frontend. The author emphasizes that having existing content makes rebuilds easier, but deployment and infrastructure still require significant effort even with experience.
