Wow, who do these people think they are and who do they think they are kidding?

This amazing song landed on my playlist.

From a movie based on Harriet Tubman, who was quite the woman herself. Born into slavery, but established lines
to help her fellows escape and also fought for womens' suffrage.

Was shocked to find this song was made and sung by the main actress herself.

Also has many UNSCRIPTED themes...namely the struggle for freedom, finding and bringing up people who were willing to journey with you.

Spoiler: slight religious reference

Harriet herself was also UNSCRIPTED as she basically flipped the bird to the preachers of the day who encouraged slaves to just submit and take in the abuses of the masters.

Instead she took courage in tales of deliverance from the Holy Writ even though she was illiterate...which made the rest of her life legendary. Now that's something I wish could happen more often today.

EDIT: Wow so she's also on the $20 bill. Damn.

Well, you already invested the time, and if it works for you both, then that's the only thing that matters. I'm definitely scarred by stuff I've seen, all the examples in my previous post are real events that happened haha

I like SSG's (static site generators) for simple static websites. If I needed something interactive I would use a real website or CMS.

SSG's are generally made *for programmers*, that's why there is at least one for every programing language: Hugo (Golang), Gatsby (JS), Jekyll (Ruby), etc. Their advantages are basically: fast, secure, and programmatic.

Astro is one of the fastest, I think it was designed to deliver perfect Google Lighthouse scores by default.

At some point, I want to generate some websites of statistical data. As my algorithms improve, I will need to recreate the sites programmatically. I plan to have a pipeline that uses an SSG to produce the final website.
