I've spent my whole career making websites, and I've never had a personal website. I was always too busy with clients. Right now, I have no clients, so I'm working on weird project websites. I really didn't need to build a new social network in Ruby. My plain HTML websites were working just fine. But here we are. It's kind of like when I lived in a van. I tried to shave and dress nice, because if I didn't I felt very homeless. Now, I don't have clients, so I'm trying to make it look like I actually do work. In reality, I have the least work I've ever had.
