What Jamie wrote
An assessment of static site generators and the somewhat miserable landscape of authoring tools. I agree with the central push of this piece. I keep finding that static site generators introduce far too much friction into my writing process. One may note that my microblog and linkblog are both very active while my blog is pretty quiet. That is almost entirely because writing for Jekyll, the static site generator I use, is too hard. Tools like Forestry offer some hope to make this better, but the configuration is still orders of magnitude too hard.
