Just vibe code your own mini cms on top of your static site. Seriously though, I did this recently with mine and have had great results. It's not a Gutenberg WP experience, more like a decapCMS kind of thing.

There are quite a few CMSes that do static builds natively. If you hand one of those to Claude Code, you can get a more flexible and maintainable result more quickly. You can also point Claude Code to a CMS starter project in folder A And a vibe coded static site in folder B and pull them together.

That being said... if you're the sole author of your site, anything goes and yeah, you probably don't need a proper CMS. I certainly built my own share of 100-line Perl static site builders back in the day.


It's easier to generate a static site using a WP hidden behind a VPN than building a mini cms on top of a static site.

Plato was suspicious of writing even lol

Hell yeah -- and on labor day weekend too.

Do yourself a favor and read Jayber Crow -- One of my all time favorite books and really the book that got me back into fiction after a long time away

> “If you could do it, I suppose, it would be a good idea to live your life in a straight line - starting, say, in the Dark Wood of Error, and proceeding by logical steps through Hell and Purgatory and into Heaven. Or you could take the King's Highway past the appropriately named dangers, toils, and snares, and finally cross the River of Death and enter the Celestial City. But that is not the way I have done it, so far. I am a pilgrim, but my pilgrimage has been wandering and unmarked. Often what has looked like a straight line to me has been a circling or a doubling back. I have been in the Dark Wood of Error any number of times. I have known something of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, but not always in that order. The names of many snares and dangers have been made known to me, but I have seen them only in looking back. Often I have not known where I was going until I was already there. I have had my share of desires and goals, but my life has come to me or I have gone to it mainly by way of mistakes and surprises. Often I have received better than I deserved. Often my fairest hopes have rested on bad mistakes. I am an ignorant pilgrim, crossing a dark valley. And yet for a long time, looking back, I have been unable to shake off the feeling that I have been led - make of that what you will.”


Reminds me of Andre Malraux’s remark that an unfortunate aspect of death is that it makes a life look like a journey to a known destination.

Start with Jayber Crow.

Then read Hannah Coulter.

Then the whole Port Williams collective will open before you like a beatific field.


Totally agreed. My copy has been through the ringer.

Does any other game have true procedural generated magic systems like DF talks about? I have always been curious how and if they'll pull it off and if it will just end up being all pretty much the same

yes, there are several games exploring this idea on steam.

Could you name a few of the best ones?

Magicmaker is pretty solid.

Noita is the first that comes to mind.

Some others that I have in my library are magicraft, fictorum, and spell chain.

I'm messing around with these ideas myself, reminds me of the old days of crafting broken spells in morrowind.


Noita isn't really on the level that DF describes. Noita randomizes wands and allows you to make custom spells by leveraging different qualities, but its not procedurally generating the rules of magic themselves. The rules are locked in from the start.

Just quit reading the code then duh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Police state Australia!


yikes ... assuming you hate MIDI too


Generally people hate plagues. For instance I remember hating rock ballads in the early 90s. It all depends how much of a threat to civilization the thing is, currently, but later on in retrospect it becomes harmless and amusing.


MIDI isn't generative AI.

I'd like to know more


I bet this will get less true over time though as the rate of change slows down, allowing specialized models/training for specific use cases that aren't TAM heavy enough for the big labs to go after them. It's just now any general model is the best thing to use for everything and you're wasting money to build something on what will certainly be obsolete by the time you can get it to market
