I agree re: speed. In my experience, speed doesn't matter until it does: I don't care about 650ms vs. 700ms, but once it passes the threshold of me alt-tabbing waiting for blog/public/ to regenerate and I lose focus, it

I switched over to Hugo for my personal blog and a side project from Pelican a couple months ago. The speed is unparalleled: anecdotally, it generates a couple thousand pages in ~400ms (which would take an order of magnitude longer in Peli

Honesty and vocabulary are not even loosely correlated. I agree that, given the choice between the two, you should choose honest, humble friends . But if you're ever judging someone's worthiness of friendship because of their Fle

This is fairly popular advice, and I heard it at least a half dozen times at my (liberal arts) college. That's not to dismiss this post because its takeaway is commonplace: I agree with the sentiment. However, I think it's impor

I've been reading Pitchfork for around six years now. Even though it has its share of questionable reviews and scores, its always proven an excellent bellwether for new music and introduced me to most of my favorite albums. In the ag
