My buddy needs website, I helped him to setup localhost, and told him I can work on backend if he wants, he is my good friend so I could even do it for free if he shares some income later down the line but he would need frontend anyway, so someone would need to do it. Some consideration later it turns out that there is noone to do the FE, so that is trashed and instead Im solving wordpress problems for him whenever he has them..

God... I forgotten why I hate wordpress... Every single time I helped him I felt like Im doing workaround to workaround and it somewhat works like its supposed to...

Edit: fixed wording

    Classic Worpress:

    Find a problem, throw 2 to 6 plugins on the problem, admit, that they don't fix the problem either and then implement some crappy workaround yourself.

    But: It could get worse. You could use Joomla as CMS. Same shit, but without the available mass of plugins.

    You could have just coded the front end without any CMS (if you are feeling brave)

    True is that.

    After throwing few plugins at problem you notice regressions... Than you throw another plugin at this. And again, rince repeat and holly fuck 40 plugins.

    Okay, restore backup, and lets see if I can slap on few lines of js/css at the problem.

    Yay, it kindda works.

    Whats annoying, that Im backend dev, so in wordpress i feel like 'IDK what I am doing but it feels dirty and filthy'

    @DubbaThony I know just joking with you. It hard to represent joke online.

    @DubbaThony If you work for free, you don't have clients because clients are people who pay money.

    Why did you even go for WorsePress instead of just using some SSG?

    Becouse still i have no blody idea how to use one.

    Its frontend. When I do FE I write html skeleton and let our FE guy do it

    @DubbaThony You don't code the FE for WP either, you use a template - exactly what you would with most SSGs. If your buddy wants something that doesn't look like some generic template, he'll have to fucking pay somebody anyway.

    Probably, but from what i seen he is hacking something together, it looks kindda generic but oh well, better this than non-responsive broken FE that I could create. My last FE I did was... Ugly but fancy. And definitely required HD or better display (PC only, not responsive) but thats for internal tool that is used on pc anyway sooo **shrug**
