  1. I truly relished in the power of Markdown; its simplicity, speed, and control over writing is unparalleled. Because of Markdown & AsciiDoc, I will always be a huge proponent of #writingascode and #documentationascode.

    However, I soon realized that Hugo, or more specifically, a blog-type site, did not suit my style of writing best. Given that I often write in a book format, that is, structured in chapters versus individual standalone articles, a standard blog layout didn't cater to my needs.

  2. @thefinley it is really straight forward.

    I migrated from Wordpress to hugo because I wanted to do #writingascode through templating and publishing in a regular rhythm and writing in markdown.

    On WP 2007-2020, I wrote about 100k words. WP is crippling to writing.

    On vscode / md / GitHub / hugo / netlify since 2020, I have written over 2 million words. Productivity is off the charts.

    And now I about to move my site from netlify to "in-house" for no reason other than if I can.
