A while ago I wrote [a blog post about how I created this blog][init-post]. Back then it was [Pelican][pelican-website], a [Python][python-website] static site generator. Then I migrated it to [MkDocs][mkdocs-website] — also [Python][python-website], a bit more modern, better support for my bilingual setup. Now here we are again. Third time.
This is the story of why I did it and how it went.
First of all I'm not a web engineer and I hate web development. There are too many framework to work with ([ReactJS][reactjs-website], [Angular][angular-website], [jquery][jquery-website], ...). [Javascript][javascript-website] asynchronous system is a pain to manage at large scale. And dependencies maintainability is too much for me (yes, I'm talking about you npm). I'm not a web designer either so [HTML][html-rfc]/[CSS][css-rfc] are the enemy (mostly because I don't know how to use them at their full potentials).
This is pretty much why I quit web development in the first place and became a SysOps engineer.
