   It's a plugin for a plugin! The rational choice for would be customers is to replace WooCommerce with something else that has the feature they need. This blog post itself seems to be a marketing ploy to get more customers.

   It's lucrative for SaaS providers to convince developers that they don't need to care about performance. Just throw more memory at your problem. We'll be there to provide you all the hardware you need. wink wink.

    You really really don't. The fact that this kind of stuff gets so many votes is somewhat alarming, to say the least.

    IntelliJ is just as heavy. Android studio is even heavier. If Sublime had features on par with Code I would happily use it. Though honestly I don't know much about Sublime. Can anyone comment on how it compares to Code?

    I'm starting to find it weird that things like "error while passing string as int" trigger an exception rather than return an error. There are always error cases to check when handling user input. It's a natural part of
