> fleed to netlify to avoid insane over-engineered technology stacks

Take a sober, 1000-foot look at Netlify today. They're so caught up in their GitHub-integrated value-add that if you try to follow the docs to do a straightforward "deploy" from a directory with a simple "hello world" index.html, there are multiple failure conditions. The dumbest one being that if it's a Git repo and it encounters a remote that it doesn't recognize, it will shit the bed. I'm not talking about error output; the CLI itself will straight up fail, throw an exception, and terminate.

That's before we even mention the experience of successful use of the CLI. The cacophony of color and the volume of output makes for a sensory overload that's akin to watching a Safdie brothers film.
