Why not use a different tool then? Hugo or Zola are mature and provide static binaries. If you want to stay in the Node world, I can recommend tinyjam by mourner (or anything by Volodymyr, really).

The point of the article is to complain about the state of the JS ecosystem as a whole. Of course there are workarounds and alternatives but it doesn't detract from the main point.

I agree, it doesn't detract from the main point, and I understand the purpose of the article. I only find it surprising that the website is built with Gatsby given the author's stance.

Surely the stance can come after and because of building the website?

There's a lot of projects that've taught me exactly what tool I wouldn't use if I were redoing them from scratch, but there's no time to start again or no wish to go through a lot of extra pain and work (until needed) to end up with the same end result.

Yeah, I believe that is what happened here. See the author's comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35422496
