Why would I need to? That's like saying before you can blog you must first write a static site generator.

- fragmede 2y agoThe bloated sloppy mess is on the backend so if you've not set one up it means you haven't looked in the places a bloated sloppy mess would be in. For consumers that just want to write posts and get comments, there are many platforms out there. http://threads.net http://threads.net is an example of one.
- kccqzy 2y agoWhy would I need to know that? Do you know that the Threads backend isn't also a bloated sloppy mess? Again as I have already said, it's like requiring a blogger to write an elegant static site generator. Who cares that the Wordpress backend is messy and bloated? Only on HN will you find this fetish about an elegant backend when you are merely a user.
- fragmede 2y agobecause it makes you unqualified to say that it's not a bloated sloppy mess. Because it is. If the blogger just wants to write a blog and doesn't care about anything else, they can just use threads, or keep on using twitter, for that matter. But for some reason, this hypothetical blogger has decided that they don't want to use Twitter. They don't have to write their own static site generator, but in moving off Twitter, they're going to be exposed to some of the details behind the scene. If they're not an anti-intellectual, this hypothetical blogger can do some light reading to get up to speed.
