I find it refreshing to write, not generate, HTML and CSS, and then sprinkle some JavaScript for interactivity.

I've found hugo to be rather amazing in generating static HTML and CSS (converting either HTML or Markdown templates into regular HTML).

PS: Have you ever seen TheNet (1995)?

PPS: All the HTML is pretty much all Semantic HTML, instead of Twitter's div>div>div>div>div

Author here. My blog is also generated with Hugo, and it's great. I just prefer not to generate HTML and CSS from JavaScript unless it's necessary.

Sorry, I haven’t seen that movie. Thanks for the recommendation though.

Too bad you haven't seen it - my site has a little easter egg from that movie :3
