Why I Switched from WordPress to Hugo
I used WordPress for years before switching to Hugo. Static HTML, no database, no plugins, 100/100 Lighthouse. Here is why I am not going back.
About
I write code in Python, C#, and Java – whatever the project demands, or whatever I haven't rage-quit yet. I run Arch Linux (yes, I'll mention it every chance I get) and self-host everything from this blog to my entire digital life. Why pay for SaaS when you can spend three weekends setting it up yourself and call it "learning"? Truly the most efficient workflow.

Nginx Proxy Manager stopped renewing SSL certs. Switched to Traefik as Docker reverse proxy - wildcard Let's Encrypt, zero web UI, way less painful.
