I would think just starting out is the perfect time to switch over to Python / Node / whatever... you've got your head around the concepts of MVC, object-oriented programming, etc, but haven't settled into a routine about how to use your particular language and framework. Once you're specialized, switching costs only grow.
Plus, if you hire a bootcamp grad, you're probably going to have to do lots of on-the-job training anyway. Good time to indoctrinate the candidate with the "right" way to do things in your particular codebase.

How is this different from Raptr.com ?

I wrote my own, and opened it for other people to use.
Can you email me? I'd like to chat about blogging. [email protected]
Cheers,

Developer of https://jekyllhub.com here. I think Jekyll might be over-complicated for what Ghost is going for. WordPress and the hypothetical Ghost seem to target the mass-market; Jekyll is mostly about power features. Easy integration with git via the filesystem, code highlighting with pygments, configuration with yaml... most people really wouldn't care about that kind of stuff.

Sorry about that! Looks like there was a hole in our Github auth flow if you don't have an email set. Should be fixed now. Or if it's something else, at least it should show you an error message.
Happy blogging!

Cross-posted from our Facebook Timeline:
Jekyllhub is based on Jekyll, which is a static site generator. The idea is that you have 100% control over the blog just by editing files - you can see all the raw files used to make your site under the "files" section of the sidebar. You can read more about how to use Jekyll here: (https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/Usage)
If you're using one of the default templates, all the navigation links are in the file "_includes/links" - there's an example link provided, and you can add any other links you want (or nested links, or images, or anything else via HTML).
I'm still considering the right way to automatically add links, comment systems, or other add-ons like Google Analytics while still giving users all the code to their sites, but rest assured it's on the roadmap. Thanks for the feedback and suggestions, and happy blogging!

Developer of Jekyllhub here: our SSL cert is trusted by every other browser; only Mozilla seems to have a problem with them. I'm working it out with my provider, and if nothing else I'll get a new cert this weekend.
Thanks for your feedback!

script/runner does not have the app.get facility. That's only available in script/console.
Done travelling the world for a bit. Happy to be back in the Bay area.
