@quark There was a time (after the Perl era) when everbody built their own web site … in PHP, with MySQL. 🤣 What a mess. The good thing about static web site generators is that they’re harmless. You can’t screw this up. You can’t accidentally introduce SQL injections or make PHP read sensitive files or whatever. I love static web stuff. 👌

@movq I remember that time. I built my own mess, then used someone else's mess (WordPress). I then switched to Jekyll when Tom released it, then to Hugo, which I use today. I also love static web stuff!
@movq @quark I remember when I first heard about SQL injections back in the days and tried this on my self written PHP CMS' login form. Surprisingly I successfully managed to break in. Absolutely not surprising at all in hindsight. I immediatly shut down everything – deny from all in the .htaccess.
@movq @quark @lyse yeah I sit there bemused when I see attempts to access /wp-login or whatever in my access logs, on my static sites. I think to myself, not today Satan! 🤣
@eldersnake Haha, yeah! So glad no server side processing is required on most of my stuff.
