Deprecation

After I created my Twitter archive, I started reviewing all my blog posts. The goal was to replace Twitter embeds with pre-rendered tweets from the archive. There were two reasons for that.

First, it ensured the content will remain there even years after publication. For example, my April Fools blog post from 2017 has lost most of its referenced content, because it was deleted sometime in the past years.

Second, Hugo shortcode I used for that is deprecated, and it is required to rename it. I didn’t want to do that. Embedding tweets directly allowed me to work around this and also improve building speed albeit insignificantly.

As a side effect of this activity, I also added some deprecation notes to old content which is irrelevant as of today. I’ve irregularly writing here for around ten years, so there’s been some.
