Making my static blog generator <del>11</del> 33 times faster
Read OriginalThe article is a technical deep-dive into optimizing a custom-built static site generator. The author investigates performance degradation as the blog grew, identifying that sequentially querying Git for each file's commit history was the bottleneck. The solution involves a new implementation that batches Git calls, dramatically reducing build time from ~2 seconds to a fraction of that. It covers technical specifics like moving from a Makefile to a custom program (in C/Odin) and using Fossil for version history insights.
