 I left wordpress at precisely the right moment.  Or bitcoin opened my eyes at the right moment… if it can be sabotaged it will. If you rely on the workings of others you and your project are at risk… hmm. 🤔

 I couldn’t stand Wordpress and all its bloatware. I could never manage to build anything decent on it without paying for third party garbage, might as well have just used Squarespace.

 It’s a huge ecosystem. Took me years to learn how to build quality, fast, custom sites instead of using bloated themes and premium garbage plugins.

 Once upon a time I paid my rent customizing wp sites. I miss those days. But they’re dead now, and mullenweg just screwed shut the coffin…

 For now, I agree. Currently changing nothing about how I build websites. Subject to change down the road, but that was always true.
