![I profoundly do not understand why one needs Hugo or Jekyll or whatever other generator. Why not write HTML in the first place? It's so absurdly easy and it makes you not depend on external infrastructure at all.
I tried some generators but it was so much more complicated than writing a style sheet and some pages. Maybe for some more complex use-case, okay, I get it, but the author's blog is so minimal and simple.
edit: today I learned people have very strong opinions about static site generators. Good valid reasons, y'all. Maybe my use case really is too simplistic!

Because then you have 200 blog posts and suddenly you realize "oh I wanna add an author section to all my blog posts"
. That is 200 files to
edit. Could you write a script to do the edit? Sure, but then you pretty much build a static site generator.
