Why would it be WP's fault? Maybe your competence level wasn't on the necessary level to automate WP.

Why would it be WP's fault? Maybe your competence level wasn't on the necessary level to automate WP.
- ivanmontillam 5y agoI invite you to try it. We truly wanted this plugin to happen, we finally found a niche where there wouldn't be a zillion competitors, and we found out that WordPress's software design currently looks like it's been all hacked together. This "hacked-together" situation is not their fault in the sense that they have lacked engineering. I'm sure Automattic has some world-class engineers there. However, their codebase lags by years because of their legacy users. From a business perspective, they are hands-tied because any breaking change will bring hate towards them. Their userbase is too big to make any significant change, and Gutenberg already fragmented their ecosystem badly. They will need to create a new next-generation product from scratch, just like JetBrains does with Fleet instead of IDEA.
