<p>2021 is the year of anniversaries for me:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>10 years since the <a href="https://metaredux.com/posts/2021/10/28/projectile-turns-10.html">creation of my first OSS project Projectile</a></li>
|
||||
<li>10 years since the creation of my second OSS project <a href="https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude">Emacs Prelude</a></li>
|
||||
<li>10 years of using <a href="https://batsov.com/articles/2011/05/11/zenburn-emacs/">Zenburn</a> as my Emacs color theme.</li>
|
||||
<li>10 years since I’ve <a href="https://batsov.com/articles/2011/06/11/linux-desktop-experience-killing-linux-on-the-desktop/">stopped using Linux</a> as my primary desktop operating system</li>
|
||||
<li>10 years since I <a href="https://batsov.com/articles/2011/04/26/thoughts-on-the-kindle/">bought my first Kindle</a></li>
|
||||
<li>10 years since I’ve started <a href="https://batsov.com/articles/2011/04/23/moving-to-jekyll/">blogging like with a hacker</a> with Jekyll</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Probably I’m forgetting some other important anniversaries, especially those that were not related to technology. 2011 was a really big year for me!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Today I’d like to look back on my experience with Jekyll, the static site
|
||||
generator (SSG) that I’m using to publish this site and my other blogs <a href="https://metaredux.com">Meta
|
||||
Redux</a> and <a href="https://emacsredux.com">Emacs Redux</a>. Back
|
||||
in the day Jekyll was a trend-setter - it basically defined the SSG category and
|
||||
every subsequent tool in it was compared to Jekyll. A lot has happened since
|
||||
2011:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Jekyll has a ton of great alternatives today (e.g. Hugo, Ghost, Cryogen, etc)</li>
|
||||
<li>For a while <a href="https://batsov.com/articles/2011/11/11/blogging-like-a-hacker-evolution/">Octopress</a> was all the rage in the world of Jekyll (basically Octopress was a highly customized Jekyll setup that many people were using, including me)</li>
|
||||
<li>Jekyll’s development lost momentum over time. For a while the project was supported by GitHub engineers directly, but I believe this is no longer the case.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ruby was all the rage back then, now that’s no longer the case. Part of the allure of the alternatives is that they are not based on Ruby and supposedly are easier to
|
||||
use as you don’t have to deal with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">gems</code>, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Gemfile</code>s, etc.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I definitely had a troubled relationship with Jekyll myself. Early on I was quite annoyed that you had to setup everything in Jekyll manually, even basic things like
|
||||
an Atom feed or archive/tags pages. I was also frustrated that I had to fiddle with the themes a lot, as HTML and CSS were never my strong suites. If I recall correctly the early versions of Jekyll used some horrible Markdown parser that caused all sorts of problems for me. Still, for all its
|
||||
shortcomings Jekyll was a huge win for me as it allowed me to do exactly what I wanted to do:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Write my articles in Emacs using my beloved Markdown format.</li>
|
||||
<li>Store my blog under version control and treat it like any other software project.</li>
|
||||
<li>Host my blog for free on GitHub Pages.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I guess the first point was the only important point, though. When it comes to writing there’s a single tool I want to use everywhere and that’s Emacs.
|
||||
In hindsight I realize that Jekyll and Emacs are quite similar in some ways - they are both building material and not some end user products. Jekyll is
|
||||
a framework for building sites and this requires you to invest a lot in tweaking the setup to your liking. Emacs is a framework for building the ultimate
|
||||
editor. We’ve already established numerous times that’s a <a href="https://batsov.com/articles/2021/11/24/emacs-is-a-lifestyle/">life-long endeavor</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Over the years I considered replacing Jekyll with something else a few times,
|
||||
especially when Hugo was all the rage and I was still <a href="https://batsov.com/articles/2015/02/15/octopress-3-dot-0/">stuck with a semi-broken
|
||||
Octopress setup</a>. I remember
|
||||
playing with Hugo and thinking that it’s not really that different from
|
||||
Jekyll. Sure, it generated sites faster, but I never cared much about
|
||||
this. Frankly, I almost never run Jekyll locally - I simply write and push to GitHub when
|
||||
I feel I’ve written something that’s already in a readable form. Production is
|
||||
my preview - unlike with software I think for blogs that’s fine. The fact that
|
||||
Jekyll is written in Ruby is a problem for most people, but for me it’s a
|
||||
feature. After all, I was a Ruby programmer back in 2011 and I still involved with Ruby to this day.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Most importantly, however, Jekyll is as simple as it gets. I guess pretty much everyone can setup a Jekyll blog in 5 minutes if they don’t need to do customize
|
||||
some theme. When it comes to writing the thing that truly matters is the content and not its appearance. The more time you spend on customizing your blogging
|
||||
tool, the less time you have for the actual process of writing.<sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote" href="https://batsov.com/articles/2021/11/27/a-decade-with-jekyll/#fn:1" rel="footnote">1</a></sup> Jekyll gets the job done for me and I simply don’t want to invest a lot of time to learn properly
|
||||
another SSG (e.g. Hugo) when I can be writing new articles instead. Time is our most precious resource and the older I get the more I value it.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Don’t get me wrong, though - Jekyll is not standing still and it’s certainly a more
|
||||
capable tool than it used to be in 2011:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Jekyll plugins simplified a lot of common tasks (e.g. Atom feeds, pagination, redirects)</li>
|
||||
<li>Working with themes is much easier than it used to be. I think distributing themes
|
||||
as gems (Ruby libraries) was a wonderful idea.</li>
|
||||
<li><a href="https://kramdown.gettalong.org/">kramdown</a> has been the default Markdown parser for a while now and it’s great.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I think those advancements essentially made it pointless to copy someone else’s Jekyll setup to jump-start yours. And tools like Octopress were pretty much this - a solid Jekyll setup, that was conveniently packaged for easy reuse. Now that Jekyll is more mature they are just a remnant of the past.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I’ve had a productive decade with Jekyll, sans the end of the Octopress era, and I think I won’t be moving away from Jekyll any time soon.
|
||||
Yeah, there’s always some room for improvement and probably many of the newer tools do the job better in one area or another, but Jekyll covers well my
|
||||
use-cases and that’s what matters the most to me. I recall back in my Linux days I spent countless hours doing distro-hopping, with the misguided notion that
|
||||
some Linux distro will be massively better than all the others. A classic example of missing the forest for the trees. At this point I’m fairly certain that
|
||||
no SSG is significantly better than the alternatives and the only practical differences for me are their communities and how much do I have to learn to use one
|
||||
of them.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And that’s a wrap. This happens to be the 132th article I publish here since adopting Jekyll. I’ve also published exactly 280 articles on “Emacs Redux” and “Meta Redux”. Here’s to the next 10 years of blogging with Jekyll and Emacs! I hope I’ll do better this time around.<sup id="fnref:2"><a class="footnote" href="https://batsov.com/articles/2021/11/27/a-decade-with-jekyll/#fn:2" rel="footnote">2</a></sup></p>

<p>On Wednesday night we openned the scriptures to Acts 16 and learned about Paul's second missionary journey. We looked at characters like Timothy, Luke, Lydia, and the Phillipian Jailer. As we wrapped up the… <a href='/story.php?story_fbid=126157402847401&id=115628967233578'>More</a> night, we saw how the Holy Spirit directed Paul and gave him the right way to share with the jailer exactly what he needed to be ready to turn to God. The only thing the jailer could respond with was "What must I do to be saved?" We are praying that we too pay attention to the Spirit enough to deal with people right where they are and invite them to know Christ!</p><a href='/story.php?story_fbid=126157402847401&id=115628967233578&m_entstream_source=timeline&__tn__=%2As%2As-R' aria-label='Open story' class='_5msj'></a><a href='/NorthernValleyTFC/photos/a.117554230374385/126156542847487/?type=3&source=48&__tn__=EH-R' class='_39pi'><img src='https://scontent.fict1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/cp0/e15/q65/p240x240/160015835_126156546180820_1306160924420440838_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=8024bb&_nc_ohc=uetXG-3go78AX9YqXM5&_nc_ht=scontent.fict1-1.fna&oh=6f22215f7d6e517705130cc7759edab0&oe=61684255' /></a>
