Ask HN: Trying to find a funny comic showing how complex blogs have less content
I'm struggling to remember a funny xkcd-style comic that resembles a scatterplot, with the x-axis measuring the technical complexity of a blog and the y-axis measuring how much content it has.
i.e. a blog made with Next.js and other cutting-edge tech has far fewer articles than the older blog running on outdated Wordpress
- latexr 3y agoThe way I remember it (if we’re thinking of the same image), what it measured was the amount of blog posts about its own tech stack. The more complex the setup, the more the blog becomes about explaining how it’s built.
- eh8 3y agoYes! The other commenter found the original image (https://rakhim.org/honestly-undefined/19/ https://rakhim.org/honestly-undefined/19/), and you nailed the description

- eh8 3y agoThis is it! Thank you very much :)
- fabianholzer 3y agoI was already at the "I want to start a blog"-phase but procrastinated actually starting it by playing with several SSGs and CMSs, when I came across that comic. It gave me the final push, I am (or aspire to be) the weird dude who writes raw HTML ;)
- hackerbeat 3y agoLol. This made my day. Thanks for sharing.
