Because I wanted the title of my blog posts to match the file name, so I didn't have to remember which markdown file was which post.

Which sounds cool and all, except I bet the URL doesn't have a space character in it, right? And so, now you have a weird mismatch between the files on disk and the site structure.

"yymmdd Name of Article.md"

URL became yymmdd. Name of Article let me know where to find the article at a glance.
