If I was going to do a blog today, I'd dump hand written HTML into an S3 bucket and call it a day. The static site generators are nice, but it's really not a huge deal to spin up a few common css classes and maintain a little bit of mental discipline. I think using a blog to communicate your ideas and skills is great. I think making the blog tech stack itself representative of those things seems distracting. Not everything has to be a smartass ego implementation. As long as you spend 5 minutes testing on mobile, your audience probably won't notice a damn thing the next time it touches the front page of HN or wherever.
