Wild to see so many people fail to realize that part of a "personal developer blog"'s job is CV support. From that perspective, it makes perfect sense to build it with the same technologies as the jobs you're looking to get.
But hey, I guess it's a lot more fun to talk about how somebody's hobbying wrong and they should've used Jekyll or Hugo or PHP or a shell script or a Python script or a Makefile or just hand-write everything and use framesets like it's still 1997 and the concept of user experience hasn't been invented yet. Carry on.
- theamk 6y agoI think everyone is surprised because the choices made actually result in a worse UX. Sure, the backend decisions make developer's life easier, but they turn a static page of text into a big cpu and network using monster. Everything has its place, and I am not sure react+ts is the right thing. (and this was exacerbated by the post title.. The current title is nice, but the HN submission title made it sound like this is ideal for everyone)
