Wordpress devs are the plumbers of the tech industry. It’s not glamorous work but there’s a ton of money in it because so many people need them.

If I ever decide to retire from latest and greatest hype cycle big tech startup world, I’ll go build Wordpress sites for honest coin and wrap up every day by 3pm.

The fact that Wordpress runs so much of the web sometimes wakes me in a cold sweat. If you're a dev worth their salt and knows proven engineering and design patterns, then Wordpress code is absolutely terrifying to look through.

See comments like yours do that for me. I will see you in the 30 meetings needed for the new form on the contact page.

Comments like yours do that for me. Every day we suspend several WP sites for failing to put basic captcha on their contacts page that results in the form being abused for email bombing.

Maybe on meeting 27 they will put the damn thing on and save themselves the headache of getting out of RBLs.

If theres one thing WP developers cant write its contact forms! :)

P.S. Wordpress is fine in general.

heh, try 11-12pm. o.O
