I just remade my personal site after a 6 year break.
It took me 4 hours to redo a static HTML and CSS mockup, learning a bunch of great new things about CSS Grid and Vars... then another week to convert that static into a Gatsby static-generator site.
It's sort of insane how over engineered we've gone on this stuff. HTML and CSS are pretty great tools for a blog. We can skip the React, GraphQL, etc.
