Web Dev Is Still a Nightmare

Posted on April 11, 2019

It’s been decades since I last really built a website.  Back then, everything was awful.  Nothing worked consistently between web browsers, and eventually you were forced to slap tables around tables around tables to get things to behave consistently.  Now that we’ve had about 20 years to fine-tune this technology, everything just works flawlessly and consistently across all… oh, nope.  It’s still a nightmare.  Everything is broken when you switch browsers.  Now there are just more layers of things to break.

This is why it’s taking me a while to get this site fully online.  I thought I could just slap some stuff together and have a cool site, but, nope.  At least there are some cool new tools to help make things a little easier.  What’s old is new again, and I’m making a static site, but this time I’m using Hugo to generate it instead of writing manual HTML.

Sorry if this isn’t a very interesting blog post, but, to be honest, I’m mostly just testing out the formatting with multiple posts.  I’ll post more interesting things in the future!
