Goodbye Jekyll, Hello Metalsmith!

While I love the simplicity of Jekyll for generating static Web sites from markup documents, the fact that Jekyll is built on Ruby and its respective ecosystem has been giving me increasing frustration. The reason for the growing frustration comes down to this: A Ruby app is a bait and switch. Looking at the code itself, the language has an apparent elegance to it (I mean, if you factor out all of that OO nonsense).

How This Blog is Setup

I’ve been trying to get caught up on my backlog of things that I generally like doing but haven’t been finding the time to do recently, and a current project at work has me working in the same technology on which this blog is based - so it gave me a convenient excuse to - yet again - try and revive this blog.

ABOUT ME
avatar

I’m into a bit of everything. Some might say that makes me attention-deficit - I like to think it gives me the ability to see things from more angles. I’m a huge technology enthusiast, and while I've worked for some pretty large tech companies, my interests are pretty broad. The opinions here are mine alone.
