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.
- okaleniuk 7y agoAnd they only automate the trivial stuff anyway. 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.
- dmje 7y agoI spend most of the time on writing, editing... 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 :-)
