About 8 years ago I tried working with Wordpress and half built a site for my then boss's portfolio bc he insisted he wanted it.

I just quit my last job which was a RoR/React shop. I've been working with NodeJS and JS frameworks for the past 10 years. I never really got into PHP.

Now, I'm working in PHP again and specifically making Wordpress sites for a non profit agency as a contractor. It has been a joy. In particular, we're using root.io with Valet and heavily relies on root's version of Laravel blade system which makes building websites super fast and seamless and I've gotten a lot of satisfaction building things this way.
