Gatsby
Once I had moved on from Wordpress onto Gatsby I knew there was literally no turning back. When my content became statically generated, my site became faster, safer, and I don't get any bot spam anymore. It's a win-win.

Being able to use Markdown for my posts instead of a WYSISYG editor gave me a bit more control over the markup of the site.
Resources
Tech Stack Icons & Design Stack Icons
A very nice set of icons that I used for the homepage to show the technologies that I use and know.
