Ask HN: Trying to find a funny comic showing how complex blogs have less content

7 points by eh8 ↗ HN
I'm struggling to remember a funny xkcd-style comic that resembles a scatterplot, with the x-axis measuring the technical complexity of a blog and the y-axis measuring how much content it has.

i.e. a blog made with Next.js and other cutting-edge tech has far fewer articles than the older blog running on outdated Wordpress

The way I remember it (if we’re thinking of the same image), what it measured was the amount of blog posts about its own tech stack. The more complex the setup, the more the blog becomes about explaining how it’s built.

I was already at the "I want to start a blog"-phase but procrastinated actually starting it by playing with several SSGs and CMSs, when I came across that comic. It gave me the final push, I am (or aspire to be) the weird dude who writes raw HTML ;)
