I really don't understand how hackernews is full of "technologists" who cannot comprehend the cloud and who have no idea why tools like Wordpress are so powerful. I swear, if HN popular opinion was mainstream we'd all be pushing code to virtual machines using SSH and everyone would just accept that This Is The Way. It's amazing how wildly out of touch this community is with modern development practices and patterns. If it wasn't for the rare actual expert opinion on current topics this entire site would be no better than TikTok for technology. Scratch that. TikTok also occasionally has experts providing valuable insights on important topics.
Anyone would be lucky as fuck to have the success and influence of Wordpress and yet we have clueless folk who speak of it as a cautionary tale.
- minusf 3y agoyou must be going to some different hn site. overall i find it balanced. certain topics will draw certain vocal crowd more and then it will look unbalanced. on the other hand it's really funny to see "modern development practices and patterns" mentioned in a topic about WP. are you sir one of them expert technologists from tok tik? i agree that WP is a cautionary tale but one thing they got really well: never do a rewrite from scratch while being the top dog. it must have been hard to resist that siren song and now we'll have WP till the heat death of the universe.
