#MeThree Google now has WordPress as the next internet thing to embrace and than kill off. Miced feeling here. I hate WordPress but don't like Google doing it

  Whatever animosity we as developers may feel towards WordPress, it's a huge (perhaps the single largest) tech boon to small and medium-sized businesses. People launch online stores on it for the price of their domain name, hosting and some sweat. That is freaking cool; more projects should aspire to have that kind of impact

  WordPress has a lot of hate, but what is the alternative for a non-programmer who wants to set up a site? There are tons of hosted/per month services, but not as much that’s just software based so you can host it yourself. Especially OSS.
