My Sixth Year as a Bootstrapped Founder
Thanks for reading!
The web tech stack is actually one of my biggest regrets. It's a static site generator called Gridsome[0] that the maintainers abandoned about three months after I used it to launch the TinyPilot website.
At the time I made the TinyPilot site, I was very excited about Vue, so a Vue-based SSG seemed great. Since then, I've come to find SPAs and most frontend frameworks to be way too much complexity, so I've moved away from Vue, but the TinyPilot website is still stuck on Vue 2.x and bootstrap-vue (which is tied to Vue 2 and Bootstrap 4).
So, it keeps creaking along, but building the 100ish pages on the site takes about five minutes, whereas I think something like Hugo could probably do it in a few seconds. Plus, we get random runtime errors[1] that are pretty hard to debug.

Will anyone hire a 33 yo newbie?
Node is basically back-end Javascript. While powerful alone, almost exclusively you will use a back-end framework like Next.js or Gatsby when using React, and then maybe Nuxt or Gridsome in Vue.

Migration from Gridsome to Astro
Among other thoughts, I considered a possibility of migration to a newer tech stack (because I can). Don't get me wrong, I actually love Gridsome (which is underneath my website now). But it's quite obsolete, and it's actually a dead project now.

Do you use Vue for smaller static sites?
One downside of Gridsome is that development seems to have stopped if you look at their github. For that reason I've recently switched my Gridsome clients to Nuxt

What is a valid alternative to Gatbsybased on VUE.Js for small website like a Portfolio?
I definitely think Nuxt is worth learning for more than just a static site. However, there is a Gatsby-like Vue framework that focuses on SSG: https://gridsome.org/

TezJS: Say Hello to Website Premix Framework
All the Static Site Generators have been in the market for many years. With time, they get new improvements and upgrades as well. While considering SSG frameworks, like Gatsby, Nuxt, Gridsome, Next, and many more have been on the developer’s list for a long time. But when we talk about blazing fast web performance as per core web vital, then we have to do a lot of work in the available frameworks, after connecting a lot of dots (in terms of web performance), but still, we cannot achieve the web performance as per our need if we consider a use case of a large website where 20+ components are in one page.

Ask HN: Looking for lightweight personal blogging platform
As per many other comments, it sounds like a static site generator like Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) or Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/), hosted on GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) or GitLab Pages (https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/pages/), would be a good match. If you set up GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD to do the build and deploy (see e.g. https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/), your normal workflow will simply be to edit markdown and do a git push to make your changes live. There are a number of pre-built themes (e.g. https://themes.gohugo.io/) you can use, and these are realtively straightforward to tweak to your requirements.

Why Blogging Platforms Suck
I suggest hugo: https://gohugo.io/
Generates a completely static website from MD (and other formats) files; also handles themes (including a lot of them rendering well on mobile), and different types of content - posts, articles, etc. - depending on the theme.
It's open source and, being completely static, cheap as fuck to self host.
