But the whole static site generator thing is hilarious when you look at it, and classic developer territory. "I'm gonna install a gazillion tools to write some words on the web" - fine if you're learning stuff by doing it but for god's sake don't go suggesting it's "easy"...
Depending on the generator you chose, it might be a single binary rather than a gazillion of tools.
This is exactly what I’ve come to realize. Static site generators are not at all as simple, easy or intuitive as you might think.
I spend most of the time on writing, editing, then programming, and only then typing the text and doing the layout. The last 5% of that could be automated, but then I wouldn't be able to write things down from my phone while traveling, or directly from my CHIP when exploring ARM-related things.
And this is the really important point. If developers spent nearly as much time thinking about the important bit: their words / grammar / spelling / structure - as they did about which static site generator to use - we'd see a monumental improvement in communication.
There are so many developer articles / blog posts which are just terrible - sometimes because of language issues, yes, but more often than not just poor writing and badly thought out arguments. But, you know, it's ok because they're using TheLatestStaticGenerator :-)
