Wordpress. Good developers create, smart developers reuse.

• Hexstream 19y ago
  I contest. Sayings will only get you so far. Would you disagree that plenty of smart developers create and plenty of good developers reuse?

    GPP's phrasing seems to be non-mutex such that it explicitly does not say that, e.g. "smart developers do not create" Maybe a more encompassing way of stating the saw would be "while a good developer can create what is required, a smart developer will use what is provided"

    He's saying "Don't reinvent the wheel." Use what's available when you can, as it will save you time and money. Make what is not available already.

    All saying aside, this guy isn't even sure he wants to blog. Unless he's selling blogging software, his time would be better spent working on his product, marketing, etc instead of rolling his own blogging software. Wordpress is so easy to setup that it's probably taking me longer to write this comment than it would be for him to setup Wordpress.

  Wordpress has become the defacto standard in blogging systems. I can think of only very few scenarios where someone would want something that they couldn't just use Wordpress for. Not to mention, with the large user base it has, you can get things like plugins and themes to customize your site without doing a lot of work. Plus, the template system is easy enough that writing your own custom theme should be a piece of cake.
