Yes

Ive had this "trend", bullshit shoved down my throat in the past, its so annoying in the coding industry.

I still us a basic virtual server to run all of my applications while some of my colleagues have to reinstall docker and fix the issues with it every other week.

Yes

Sadly people like him will only realize this when the company goes under. Best way to maybe try convince him, is to show him the numbers and examples of people who have done it and achieved the end goal.

@HelsinkiCodes I automatically assume every brown avatar here belongs to a street shitter.

@yellow-dog no

@CaptainRant Seems like only a few of us got this.

Learning JS! HAHAHA! Dont need that shit to get stuff done.

Yeah I dont think so.

Lol! Didnt have that issue with Firefox, ever. :)

Dead end is the best, you do whatever the hell you want with no repercussions and you still get paid. If they want you gone they will fire you, but by than you have already started you own freelance business.

@irene I donate to Mozilla whenever I can, they never hound me and I think what they are doing is much more important than what Wikipedia is doing.

@DubbaThony I didn't say fix other people's code, I said write your own better ones the right way. Just like you are doing now.

The appeal is that there are millions of them so a huge client base, a huge amount of different solutions and a huge community.

Ive only ever found malware on 2 sites in WP, it's extremely rare and again not a WP problem but bad coding or DevOps.

Just because it was too hard for you and you have given up, doesn't mean many of us good devs have given up. Not your job has bought me a house, new car, pc's and other cool shit, so thanks for that.

Lucky for you there are people like me who love refactoring code on open source projects! I wonder how many of these kinds of projects are laying on drives because people feel like you and we never ever get to experience cool new things.

@DubbaThony I understand what you are saying, but none of this is WP fault. Most of it is your experience. I still work on WP and write plugins and themes. All custom built for clients not shop based one that you can buy, and there is so much you can do properly and in half the time once you know what you are doing.

Yes WP encourages it, but that doesnt mean you as a developer have to do the same thing, you get better eventually and and fix your mistakes.

If you are a good PHP dev than nothing scares you, you dont just stay away because its too hard! That's a shit mind frame to be in and shooting yourself in the foot, millions of sites with millions of users with millions of dollars and you just go: "nah, its too hard". lol!

I have clients switching from Django, Laravel, Joomla, Drupal and many more to WP, becuase its simpler to use and their staff prefers it. You can fix the performance issues, and the bad code.

@DubbaThony I've always said it would be awesome to have a new branch with a full recode of WordPress. But that's not currently where we are at, and with so many site running WP it's probably not changing soon.

So coding better themes and plugins in the correct PHP standard is the solution and highly recommended. Of course there are better cms out there, but not with millions of users so making bigger changes are easier.

When it comes to shared hosting and your WP is choking, than it's probably time to upgrade your hosting, which is a hosting problem not a WP problem at that stage.

Good theme and plugins that is coded the right way won't cause these issues or have them as severely. People blame WP too quickly, and when looking at there code you can see why. A good Dev will also advise on good DevOps even when using WP, so again it's all up to the Dev and their experience.

Ive seen the database yes, its not great and ive seen much worse. Its simple to manage that these days with minimal index fixes and using MariaDB to suck a bit more out of it for a low amount of money.

The coding standards arent fantastic either, but again, there is nothing stopping you from writing better code than they have when writing your plugin or theme file and actually doing it the right way when working on WordPress projects.

Just making excuses is not solving a problem.

I agree there should probably be some better standards for the "Shop", but than again, its an open source project, anyone can write a plugin or theme without it going through the "Shop".

Good PHP developers will see the problems and fix them the correct way, just because it says WordPress on the box doesnt mean we cant change it or code properly when working on it.

@DubbaThony Why does WordPress get the blame? It did nothing wrong here, this issue was with the hosting! Im no fanboy of WordPress but its not a bad system if you know how to work with it properly and what its capabilities are.

Most of WordPress "issues" comes from bad developers that have no idea what they are doing.

@wolfmaster8 Or just set the URLS in the config and dont touch anything else.

This would take me an hour, sounds like a GoDaddy issue not a WordPress issue. You blaming WordPress shows that you are probably a bad PHP developer.

Ask them to reveal the turnover to the entire company so you can all see where things are at and try help improve it - wont happen, haha, but it shut up the manager at one of the companies I worked for after I said it in front of everyone.

Use the words: "I need to take a mental health day, I am burnt out."

I suck at interviews, but I fucking boss at negotiation, especially talking about remunerations.

The best advice I can give you is to practice, just like you do with your code. Go for interviews even if you arent looking for a job, and do a whole bunch of them, you will 100% get better.

I hope you are using git!

This did not go as well for you as you might have thought, did it?

And yes I agree with everyone here, fix your fucking code. No white-space! And use your empty lines properly! And const static vars only!

Its not that hard to comply to lint and the coding standards of your team, if your code is the only code that gets reviewed like this, you are the problem, not the code reviewer.

@VaderNT Thank you! I have one more rant from the company I worked for not so long after that, with the same kind of CEO but will save that for next week, and maybe try shorten it a bit.

@netikras haha! Im sorry about that, The only way I kow how to tell a story is to try add as much details as I possibly can. Coding has ruined me....

Ill add one more:

When getting off the elevator: Let me get the fuck out before you and your 3 friends push into the 4 man area that is clearly too fucking small for me to push past you to get off in time! You rude fucks!
