A word of hard-earned advice to anyone putting together an archive of their old posts and essays stretching back into the college years: don’t do it. It’s all cringe.
Google moght have done archivists dirty by letting their usenet archive rot, but they did the rest of hs a blessed favor; we can remember, hazily, that we had REALLY INTERESTING INSIGHTS. It’s best that way.
@eaton I went through something similar a few years back — though at a much, much, MUCH smaller scale — and ultimately decided true best thing for all involved was if I kept my old posts in a deep, dark mineshaft. https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/thread/

@eaton Ooh, yeah. I really like that. [takes notes]
