In this article, I describe the technology stack and development workflow I used for this website.

Hugo as Static Website Generator
#

I chose Hugo because it:

Is blazing fast - pages are generated in milliseconds
Offers simple Markdown syntax - perfect for blog content
Markdown files are ideal for agentic development - can be easily read and edited by AI agents
Has a theming system - allows easy customizations
Themes as Git submodules - can be cleanly integrated and maintained as separate Git submodules
Provides multilingual support - ideal for my German/English website
Requires no database - everything is static files
Has significantly less maintenance overhead than JavaScript-based websites - no constant updates of JS/TypeScript dependencies needed

Blowfish as Hugo Theme
#

For the design, I use the Blowfish theme because it:

Podman

What is Podman?
#

Podman is an open-source tool for managing containers and pods. It was developed to provide a secure and simple alternative to Docker. Podman is daemonless, which means it does not require any background processes to manage containers. This makes it more secure and resource-efficient.

Podman is part of the Red Hat ecosystem and is supported by the Open Container Initiative (OCI). It is compatible with Docker and can use many Docker commands directly.
