Me right now trying to figure out WordPress. I'm a total noob

I wish this was a gif. it would be so funny to see him try to get out of that.

try using a page builder etc. as a start. May help you kick off

funny it is harder than they say, but id does save you a lot of time when you get to know it.

WordPress does make a lot of things easy. Like adding critical bugs that are a pain in the ass to track down and debug.

Take wordpress ad burn it ...

@frankymad I tried! But I think the latest build made it flame retardant

@ahmedam page builder? I'm trying to start out with the html 5 blank starter theme

@davidricky114 i used wordpress for 6 mounth and hate it all, and one day i made my own cms based on padrino/sinatra 🤣 and i find my zen

@davidricky114 Just start your own theme from scratch. it's really easy once you understand.

I do get why or how so many devs can't work with WP smoothly. It's such a treat to work with. The documentation is so thorough. if I find an issue, someone has usually encountered it before me.

Using WordPress makes you an integrator, not a dev. Go complain on IntegratorRant or something...

@superroot so hard on integrators

@mundo03 Perhaps I am traumatized a bit by seeing so many web applications being "hacked" together by WP integrators.

We see a lot of shit applications when companies knock on our door to have a look at their "sick" systems built on shit like that.

Usually when we feel sorry for the company we stage it up. If freak WP applications had a debug log, the first line would read: [WARNING] Put me out of my misery. 😵

@superroot lol that is true one must know what WP and it's plugins are for and when a real app is needed

@mundo03 Making a decision tree is quite simple for when to use WordPress. Do you want a simple blog? Yes -> Use WordPress : No -> Literally anything else.

Not to mention the shitty security and incompatible plugin updates.

@superroot also true, but man, some plugins can actually do some work while you develop. having something that works to buy you time.
