In 2017, I moved my best content off andrewconnell.com to give a new business a running start. This year I brought it all home. 426 pages. 281 course pages. 217 videos. 8,911 comments. And every old voitanos.io URL now answers with a single 301 to its new home. 🧵

One person, working only in my personal time while doing my full-time job at AvePoint by day. Over six months, Claude Code did most of the work and was a GREAT thinking partner!
