i love this sentiment
lobste.rs comment section:

Something I'll add to this explicitly is: don't be afraid to break links on your personal website. There was/is this movement designed to shame people into ensuring that links always work ("Cool people don't break links") but I break links on my website all the time when I want to reorganize things or rename a page. It's my personal website, and I'm refusing to be forced into maintaining a big list of redirect-tech-debt or become paralyzed by the fear of breaking my links such that my site ends up not how I want it.

Other people can adapt—they can ask me where a page went if the link changed or use a search engine—but I won't let them tell me how I should run my personal website.

    I disagree, cool people don't make others do more work when it can be avoided. Having 100 people search through your website to find a link that changed is less cool than you using a tool that makes that redirect in my opinion. But of course, it's your website and you operate it how you see fit.

        Actually I owe people on the internet absolutely nothing. I'll break whatever I want to break.
