I store my articles as Markdown files, and I’m too lazy to generate HTML from them every time and manually add metadata like the date and title.
In the end, I wrote a PowerShell script that worked, but I overengineered it and eventually abandoned it. Right now, the articles are still stored in Markdown and rendered through markdown-it. But it’s terribly hacky and honestly feels awful to me. Still, it works.
Waking up this morning, I realized I’d been putting it off for too long. I’m unhappy with my website, but I finally decided not to chase perfection, and somehow, I managed to create something. I like looking at my website. There it is — finally, it feels like me. But once again, I fell into the same trap. The trap of perfection.
Alright then. Despite all its hackiness, I’ll keep it. This messy generation setup — but it’s the thing that actually lets me write.
