- I kept hearing great things about Svelte and Sveltekit and wanted to mess around with it in a low-stakes way
- My music site was built with simple hard-coded HTML and CSS, along with double-scoops of copy-pasted jQuery plugins; since I'm using React daily in my work it's painful and annoying to go back to a componentless structure
- I was already able to save myself $12 a month simply moving my site from Hostgator to Netlify (and using a real CI/CD process via GitHub/Netlify instead of just dumping raw files onto the server via FTP like I've done since 2005)
- My career transition from full-time musician to full-time software engineer has given me the space to slow down on gig promotion, and some flexibility in disrupting my website / online presence
