I run my personal site off of Hugo. You can load some decent themes and adding new content is a relatively painless process.

But I do feel like there is a cost to using static site generators. Raw HTML is easier to work with if you aren't dealing with a lot of similar pages.

Build times can be annoying. I have a bicycle shop's website in Hugo, full generation takes about a few dozen seconds, upload using rsync easily a minute because of many nested directories with images. I ended up writing a script to only upload changed html and new images unless needed.

You know there was a time when we had to wait dozens of seconds for the modem to finish its handshake before you could do anything.

80s or 70s geezer, huh?

60s grandgeezer here. try waiting a week or two, to find out that your punched card batch job didn't even compile, let alone run, because of a single character typo you made. back to square zero.

kids these days ...
