My website is a shifting house next to a river of knowledge. What could yours be?

Code and design have similarities in some way. Code should be structured, coherent, and be able to communicate with people efficiently as well as perform an intended function. Most of the time, personal websites are places for self promotion and advertising. People can rarely see sites that tell stories, show an identity, and interact with viewers.

Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter provide a platform to let users share their personal opinions. Those platforms almost hide all the negative aspects, since they record all the users' personal data such as their shopping preference, and entertainment. Some advertisements will pop up on the website while users are using it. These social media companies filter all the content that users "don't like" and only show what users want to see. By doing so, these software companies keep old users and attract new users. It causes people to read and learn less about the news. People know only a few about what happened in reality, the economic status in each country, and refugee issues.
