Choose between wget.blog or [myName].[TLD] for personal blog

I am currently using https://www.wget.blog as the domain name. I am planning to write more regularly. I want to focus on react, redux, gatsby, Java and SQL related contents. What do you think? Should I stick to wget.blog or should I buy [myName].[TLD] type of domain?

Imagine various situations where you are talking to a friend or a colleague or a future client about your website.

"Oh and if you want to know more, my website is at XXXX"

Pick the name that is relevant and simplest to explain

Hey thanks for the comment.
I wanted to ask a question.

Do you think "wget.blog" is simple and relevant for a blog which has contents related to react, Java, SQL, etc.?

@sabir001
IMHO wget.blog is very simple but not very relevant.

I would go for [myname].tld

This is what I've done after too much useless brainstorming on the right DNS.

If you can, purchase the .com of your name.
