I've been wondering about this effect... is everyone else feeling it? I'm loathe to use anything other than a static site generator. Managing a database feels burdensome. I'd hardly think of running my own mailserver. All things I've done in the past without a second thought.

Do I just have less time? Are the services just better? Or is something more fundamental changing in the fabric of the web? (Maybe this is what the indieweb folks are trying to harken back to?)
