- maxbond 3y agoTo publish blog posts? No, it's really not. I don't like WordPress either, I prefer static site generators, but if you're going for something simple and fast to setup it's a legitimate choice.
- TylerE 3y agoI would never describe, with a straight face, WordPress as "simple". Nothing with that many sharp edges is.
- maxbond 3y agoIt's not that WordPress, the technology, is simple. It's that deploying the bog standard solution, rather than investing energy into researching alternatives and developing workflows for them, is a simple and pragmatic approach. Those sharp edges aren't really relevant anyway on a hosted service (wordpress.com) where they are buffed out for you.
- TylerE 3y agoIt's simple until you miss some security update and get 0wned.
- maxbond 3y agoAgain, they're using a hosted service. They aren't on the hook for security updates, wordpress.com is. What do you propose is the more pragmatic solution to standing up a blog, compared to going to wordpress.com and registering a free tier account?
