For the last few months I’ve been learning the Go programming language while working on various work related projects, and as I do, I reflect on the older tools and patterns that I’ve used and developed over the years and wonder if there is a better approach.
Each time I pick up a new language, every few years, I start this evaluation process. In this case, a friend from work pointed out a new static website generation tool. It turns out, I’ve been neglecting a couple static sites that could use some updating!
So I took a couple afternoons on a weekend and started converting my sites. Oh what a joy. Websites are nearly my least favorite part of technology, so it was a power-through sort of project sit-down.
Anyway, you’re looking at the results. Its built with Hugo. And it seems to work pretty dang well. If you’ve got a static website that could use some updating, its worth a look.
