Hey there! We use the following setup for our blog (link in profile if you're curious). I did a lot of research on this setup and think it's one of the best stacks to use provided that you're technical:

  - Our site is built using the static site generator Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/docs/). We use the Hydeout theme (https://github.com/fongandrew/hydeout) + some additional CSS styling, but you can really use anything. 
  - Gitlab pipelines for continuous deployment
  - GoDaddy for domain management

Pros:

  - Fast out of the box.
  - Simple to get set up (on the order of hours to get production-ready with full CI/CD!)
  - Flexible (you can customize Jekyll all you like if you know a modicum of CSS - tons of control). 
  - Managed and versioned in Github, collaboration and updates are a breeze.
  - Free

Cons:

  - You need to be technical, but that's probably not an issue for the HN set.

We tried Medium and Blogspot as well. Medium looks great but the ecosystem is somewhat hostile, and Blogspot looks ultra dated. Wordpress is probably great if you're a Wordpress expert, but for us as engineers it was actually easier to just use Jekyll.
