I think the industry needs to rethink extensions in general. VSCode and browser extensions seem to have very little thorough review or thought into them. A lot of enterprises aren't managing them properly.
I ran Hugo when I launched my blog last year. I made 18 total posts. Probably 3/4 of those had issues when trying to publish due to issues with Hugo. Found it so frustrating.
I found Hugo to work well for the most part. Seemed everytime I went to publish id run into a new error if I wasn't consistent enough about posting. I moved over to Docusaurus for the new year and off of Hugo.
Thanks for the work you do, really inspirational honestly.
