About 8 years ago I tried working with Wordpress and half built a site for my then boss's portfolio bc he insisted he wanted it.
I just quit my last job which was a RoR/React shop. I've been working with NodeJS and JS frameworks for the past 10 years. I never really got into PHP.
Now, I'm working in PHP again and specifically making Wordpress sites for a non profit agency as a contractor. It has been a joy. In particular, we're using root.io with Valet and heavily relies on root's version of Laravel blade system which makes building websites super fast and seamless and I've gotten a lot of satisfaction building things this way.
- ydlr 3y agoI really like the while roots ecosystem for ease of development. The problem comes in when I have to hand-off the site for someone to maintain. At some point, every client decides they are better off switching to an extremely cheap agency for maintenance. But these bottom-of-the-barrel agencies don't seem to have any programmers on staff at all. They have no idea what to do with composer, git, or any cli.
- memonkey 3y agoAh, that's a bummer. You can always hit me up (contact in profile)!
