"The children are alright. They are also incomprehensible. These two facts are not contradictory."

the best I can figure is this is some sort of postmodern extension of “nobody ever got fired for buying IBM”…

-> “nobody ever got dunked on, on twitter, for picking 11ty” ?

Anyway, never judge a book by its cover - only time will tell

But the takeaway - think about why people are looking for the thing you made

The tools we use matter - it’s nice to find a project that feels like it’s meeting me where I’m at

Then I checked out Zola and it’s a breath of fresh air.

- simple, to the point

- assumes the reader knows what an ssg is and is making an informed choice

- quickstart docs use precise language and feed you information in the order you need it

I think they’re all fine projects that would get the job done.

But as I said, I’m in Goldilocks mode over here

Anyway this is what I gleaned from their home pages

Pelican & Nikola - these are ssgs and have the features ssgs have

Hugo - is 1. fast and 2. popular and 3. actively developed

11ty - affirms your identity as a web dev

Tbh I’d rather not set it up myself - but I don’t trust platforms

I don’t even particularly want to write - I’d prefer to communicate by beaming ideas into the ether

But here we are

In milkshake marketing terms, the “job I’m hiring for” is that I want to add a blog to my web site

I want an ssg that is easy to set up, does what I need, and gets out of the way

blessedly only 12 days this year!

this has got to be an mba’s dream, selling your own stuff back to you

why stop there? $50 for find-it-now, $20 for next day finding… or flat rate $10 for standard 3-day service

regrettably 😸

computers exist solely to make people upset

the seven layer osi model is just the stages of grief in disguise
