If you use "bundle exec jekyll serve" you shouldn't have too much problems locally as it just rebuilds the pages that change on every save. A minute to deploy the finished version is not terrible by any stretch for a blog IMO.

I used to think the same until I tried Hugo and it generates my site in milliseconds. Deploying from there also takes less than a second.

It is really astonishing what power our devices have and how little that power is utilised by many tool chains.
