Just fucking use HTML

Hey, dipshit! You know what loads faster than your bloated, overengineered mess? Plain, unadulterated HTML. And you know what doesn't break every motherfucking Tuesday? HTML that just fucking works. Why the fuck are you overcomplicating things, you masochistic fuck? You're out here acting like you're building the next goddamn moon landing when all you need is a button and some text.

Newsflash, asshole: the web was doing just fine before your bloated frameworks crawled out of the sewer. You're out here dropping ten grand on some fancy-ass framework like it's a Gucci purse, just to haul around the same shitty groceries you could've carried in a plastic bag from 1995. Why the hell are you jumping through all these hoops when HTML's been sitting there, ready to go, since the dawn of the goddamn internet?

HTML is horrible to write by hand.

My preferred solution for static content at the moment is either:

Markdown converted to HTML with Pandoc. This is great for writing articles.
The Lume static site generator. Lume is a cut above your run-of-the-mill SSG (Hugo, Jekyll, etc.) because a) it uses Deno so it's extremely easy to set up - no NPM nonsense, and b) you can use TSX and components. TSX is far nicer than writing untyped raw HTML and components mean you can reuse stuff.

The style of writing here is also deeply unoriginal. There are like 15 justafuckingwebsite.com copies already. Please stop.
