When your manager who claims to be a Wordpress "developer" says to you oh my God, why are you using notepad to write the page when there is an editor?

My response, because I am a developer. I write code and I can write better HTML than any editor can. I then said I do add editors for my projects where required, not for me, but for the end users that cannot write HTML. He walked away 😂

@dmartin I'd be saying, "why are you using notepad instead of atom or Sublime?"

y u no use vim?! 😮

or any decent IDE? In my opinion, almost every WordPress "developer" I've met could do nothing more than install a template and configure some plugins. That's the same as saying you're a car mechanic because you know how to fuel your car.

@dev0urer 😂

wordpress developer... so my wife is a meal developer!

Fuck Wordpress.

@kanduvisla lets meet sometime

@kanduvisla exactly. That would be my exact thought of him

There is no such thing as a "WordPress Developer". You're either two things, a PHP developer or a end user that knows basic HTML. Seems like you're the latter.

@fyroc actually I am a .net developer I don't do Wordpress. I do PHP and I can work with Drupal but I stay away from Wordpress.

@wgroenewold why? are you gonna kick my ass? ;-)

@kanduvisla to show you that wp devs exist. Been working on the project for 8 years now, could call myself a php dev but don't do projects that are not wp based.

@wgroenewold could be interesting... I'm always open for other perspectives.

@kanduvisla imagine a project that runs 25% of the whole internet, has a huuuge ammount of plugins that need to work together and has backwards compatibility to version 1 while being on 4.something now.

@wgroenewold it's not always the most elegant solution that gets the most attention. 25% of the cars on the road are Volkswagen. does that make them better than a Ferrari?
wp's core depends on globals and loops, which makes it a right candidate for spaghetti code. saying it's backwards compatible to version 1 shows that it does not understand major/minor/patch version numbering. a lot of plugins are abandoned, and/or are very poorly coded. and that's the root of the problem: wp has a very low learning curve to develop for. this creates a bad reputation for php.
