At this point, that's like being proud you write in assembly while all the hipsters use C++. Or it's like being proud you don't use any libraries in Go.
Build steps aren't evil. For most projects, you never even touch them. You use a project template and then you're done.
What you get in return is an amount of work no human can do by hand: type-checking, tree-shaking, cross-browser shims, image optimization... it's a huge list.
At this point, I wouldn't hire someone who thinks build steps are a waste of time. Programmers should know the value of automating complex manual tasks.
What sticks with me in a way that I don't love is that this and many other modern, simple-ish solutions to having a lightweight CMS still relies on some Postgres config. I'm being picky, but I want a DB without having to think about the DB at all. Just templates plz.
