As a front end engineer, I can't believe what I am seeing. Someone got paid to make that. They looked at the finished outcome and said, 'eh, good enough to deploy to prod.'

It's often the case that off the shelf software like this is selected, along with a "nice looking" theme, by someone with no technical background. And it's also often the case that said "nice looking" themes have not been built to accommodate the use case they're applied to.

- renewiltord 6y agoWouldn't it make sense that they're better for being bad at the non-critical stuff? Assuming the market will pay X for their goods, mostly dependent on the goods' quality Q and very little on W. Assume that it costs Y to build the product (and that higher Y leads to higher Q) and Z to build the webpage (and that higher Z leads to higher W). Assume that they want the profit to be as high as possible. Then they'll want Y+Z to be as small as possible, and you would hope that most of that cost-cutting is in Z so that Y+Z is as close to Y as possible.
