This is what I've started doing. I needed a site generator, was too lazy to learn an existing one, and built something that would just do what I wanted, and no more.
It's actually quite a nice experience knowing a tool inside and out, literally.
- jlevers 6y agoI totally support this strategy, as I think it's a great way to learn new things, but...I think that's not what most people would call lazy :)
- Shared404 6y agoI dunno. < 60 lines of a language I enjoy vs learning how to configure/install/write for a program I don't know. Honestly the former sounds like less of a pain.
- mmsimanga 6y agoI gave up on static site generators and use WordPress with default theme and a code highlighting plugin. I did start writing my own SSG but gave up on that too.
- Shared404 6y agoUnderstandable, WordPress is a nice piece of software, just a bit overkill for my purposes.
