Benefits of using static site generators from my point of view:
* Don't have to worry about traffic at all.
* Don't have to pay for hosting (it's free using Heroku or Github, probably other places as well).
* Less moving parts, less to go wrong. For my simple personal site I don't need any server-side code and don't want it.
* Still super easy (for me) to use to publish content.
- btilly 14y agoFree hosting is only free if your time has no value. See http://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/02/09/why-i-dont-host-my-own-blog-anymore/ http://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/02/09/why-i-dont-host-my-own-b... for more.
- nickknw 14y agoNope, my time has plenty of value and I'm pretty sure my hosting is still free. Patio11's article is a good one but just not relevant to my situation. I've spent 0 minutes managing hosting details since I first put my website live. That's just the way I like it. That's part of the reason I chose a static solution: less moving parts, less fuss maintaining it.
