Something else that is outdated. Why go into
the pain of making you own website? Start writing
blogs and use forums like for example:

https://medium.com/

https://qiita.com/

Time to invest: a) Time to register at the blog
service site plus b) Time to learn their markup language.
a) Takes usually 1 minute and b) takes around 5 minutes.

Write a blog about how you, John Harris, sees the
future of Garbage Collection and Datastructures, or
any other topic of your choice, I hope the topic

is not how to burp in a pub, by misunderstanding the
Drinkers Paradox. PyPy recently fixed a 10 years
old bug releated to their garbage collection:
