I’ve been using WP for personal projects for something like 15 years.

Nothing I’ve ever created has been that big, but I generally liked the tools nonetheless.

But now I think I’m out. I try to adhere to a rule where I don’t support rich weirdos as much as possible, and as such that’s why I use Lemmy to begin with. And don’t buy from Amazon. And don’t use Twitter any more. Etc.

So my next project now will totally be on new software. And hey, maybe I won’t have to use PHP ever again so this could be a win.

Have you tried static site generators like Hugo?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I tried both. Static site generators are great for me, but when I have collaborators, they need a an admin dashboard or something with a graphical interface for editing the looks and/or content. Ghost is great but lacking features. Just saw Concrete5 in this thread, looks promising.

Don't judge PHP by what you saw in WordPress. Modern PHP is amazing, WordPress had horrible code when it started and they definitely didn't fix things afterwards. It's a horrible slow mess of a code. Look at some modern PHP (for example this api of mine ) to compare.

Nice code, good job!

Thanks for sharing a modern php codebase. It makes me confident that giving it up and switching to Python was the right choice.

Ah enjoy your single thread. I'll be there writing writing kick ass code in rust and wondering about important stuff like... err... who owns that fucking variable....

Cool story. Rust didn't exist when I switched from php to Python.
