I’ve upgraded Hugo, ditched webpack for esbuild and removed most javascript from blog 🍋. The best part is that it now does syntax highlighting on the server side and builds in < 500ms 🐎.

While reading docs, I learned that Hugo allows for custom type blocks such as the mermaid diagramming in a code block below that’s rendered into an image. Unsure if this will have practical use in blog, but it’s a problem in search for an answer ;).
