I do this too (not the personal domain bit) but one thing to be aware of is that Google doesn't seem to index these sites unless you feed it each URL manually. Doesn't autodiscover, doesn't read a submitted sitemap.

Not a showstopper for me since I don't expect anyone to be interested anyway, but might be for some.

Given the tiny cost of running a blog, especially if you have a domain name, is it worth the saving? Its not even much work if you use a static site builder.

    Reliability? It took me around 15 minutes to create a site with Claude Code using GitHub Pages with custom domain and somebody else is taking care that it is always running. What is the alternative?

      Shared hosting still exists which means someone else will take care of a static site very cheap.

      You could use Claude, or you could use one of many static site builders.
