On this page
Static systems fit writing surprisingly well because they remove many moving parts from the act of publishing.
Publishing should not feel operationally heavy
When the content is the product, the publishing path should be boring. Static generation makes that easier.
Stability is part of the reading experience
Readers do not benefit from a dynamic stack if the page itself is mostly text. Predictable delivery is often the stronger feature.
