I made the decision in the past week to move away from Middleman. While Middleman certainly has its strengths, it was still a process that was a little too manual. I found myself still having to code up HTML/CSS/JS and handle a lot of the web development side of blogging vs. getting to focus on content. I was unhappy with my site because I couldn't control how it looked or functioned without a massive amount of work, and after this work was complete I was too tired to actually blog! That was a major problem for me, because regularly blogging has been a goal of mine for years now. So I needed something simpler that handled this boilerplate development for me, allowing me to focus on weaving thoughts into nice coherent posts for my blog. -Hugo makes the boring stuff easy. I did not have to write any HTML or CSS. The Hugo theme [author](http://yoshiharuyamashita.com/) has literally done all of this for me. Yoshiharu if I ever get the chance to meet you, I owe you. This theme is beautiful and is exactly the look I wanted my personal site to display. Hugo also builds sites in milliseconds. Using the new and shiny Golang, Hugo is able to churn through a site render in <1ms per page. This is extraordinary. Development changes and builds are nearly instantly completed, and the speed of the build never ceases to amaze. +Enter Hugo, the static site generator written entirely in Go.
