It always amazes me that we have complexified our stacks so much.

I'm creating a tiny static website with eleventy (learning).

With a small bash script, deploying it either with ftp, or "ssh remote git -C /repo/path pull", takes about 2 to 3 seconds, big maximum.

Using Github Pages takes about a minute.

@pierstoval i don't understand the need to have all of these complex setups either. As someone that was able to build website as a hobbyist ten years ago... Now I'm lost
