Aren’t “rules and regulations” written by people under direction of a president, such that it is effectively the president’s work? Do they just stand on their own with no legal backing? Or do they want the president to be the one actually writing them all? Or is it his signature they want?
Undoing them isn’t just the same as undoing previous presidents’ work?
Sure, makes sense, but then we have the invisible, possibly non existent emergency door release. Do they also go through the effort of pointing this out as a factor in the statistics? Or is that not counted as a design flaw? Whether they’re saying the truth or not, i think in these roles, it’s very easy to omit damaging information while not outright lying. It’s also easy to be taken to lunch by a Tesla person to talk about how to cushion the reports impact.
If you do it successfully, even with just a few templates and the right plugin system, I expect this to be a huge success. Make sure to improve on what needs to be improved. Please throw the entire Wordpress db schema, including its inefficient metadata structure into the trash.
In college, likely you subscribed your email (or they sneakily did it for you) as you went through your activities, like student government, on-campus jobs, signing up for classes in different departments, multiple extra curriculars, etc. If those are all designed to be their own entities, just sharing the same domain (and sometimes they're on subdomains), then each is likely claiming the right to susbcribe you to their own list. Should be illegal if they're all affiliated to the same org.
I think the quote applies in relative terms of the bank's size. When Elon bought Twitter, and then he started saying there were so many bots, I remember people saying how much the finance department at his creditor was sweating. That to me is Musk owning the bankers, and yet, $45B is likely not close to how much that bank as in deposits.
edit: which I actually just read, was multiple large banks, which is now a great strategy to not being owned by debtors. I assume a single large bank would be sweating a lot more.
It should, mainly because an email is not just an email, it's a channel to reach otu to you, your internet address. And we know how that is going in your inbox.
I don't think it would make sense any other way. When doing rituals like refinement and sprint planning, POs want features but have no idea how they interact with what's already there, or how integrations are implemented, or how things are optimized. Simple features might be very complex to change for example, often because product itself asked to make something that does not scale for the sake of velocity, and now wants to build on top of that.
There should be a conversation, engineers should inform POs about risks, alternatives, workarounds, etc. Sometimes POs are just not aware that there is a much better way to do X.
This is the issue. I'm an engineer, and I moved away from WP years ago, now I use ghost. But wordpress gives you that feeling of control, that you just need to search for "online store", and you get 100 plugins, including woocommerce, that are full blown ecommerce platforms. It's less the blogging, and more the customizable application that laymen can hammer into their desired function by clicking and dragging, no coding necessary, at least until it gets hacked or they need a real engineer to build that bespoke functinality.
But if you use Hugo, Ghost, or whatever, you get to the point of "for this you need this other platform", where platform is shopify, or an accounting system, or a social network/membership plugin, a job board, etc. Wordpress became this thing that can be turned into anything else.
So someone calls a consultant and says I want this, and they go, I'll set it up for you in Wordpress. Then, because everyone was using wordpress, it was easy to get people to help you when you had issues, or to tweak your plugins slightly, add a hook to send an email, etc. So the age of PHP consultants gave Wordpress it's dominance.
Problem is, most of these solutions, even paid ones, are not full solutions. When you start using them you quickly realize Wordpress imposes non sensical limitations. You can't architect your online store outside Wordpress's performance disaster of a entity/metadata system where any reasonably sized query takes 5 seconds and generates 50 other secondary, non optimized queries. Some plugins even try to work around this by going around wordpress and creating their own db tables out of wordpress's control.
Wordpress is horrible, not architected for anything other than a blog, but used as a tool for everything. Other CMSs don't do that, so people don't use them.
Trying to explain to someone how static sites work vs how WP works, and that the server has to literally recreate the entire page from a bunch of database entries (having first compiled all the PHP files into something the server understands) for every single page request. It's crazy that we ended up with this powering most of the web.
A simple file based caching plugin like KeyCdn Cache Enabler saves every page as static html and uses Apache rewrite rules to serve those files until invalidated, bypassing php entirely. It is trivially easy to install and configure.
Free tier cloudflare caching basically does the same, host your dns on cloudflare, turn CDN on for a record, and whatever users request from that IP gets cached statically, distributed across and served by Cloudflare’s global cdn.
For more interactive database heavy applications like ecommerce you can go deeper with opcode and object caching, but none of it is that complicated. There are plenty of managed solutions that do all of this for you.
> It's crazy that we ended up with this powering most of the web.
What's crazy is your wilful ignorance of _why_ WP is so popular. One important reason is that it allows writers to avoid people like you, who hold them in disdain without even the slightest attempt to understand their needs.
Please stop with the insulting ad-hominems, it contributes nothing to the discussion and just promotes anger.
I think I understand why WP is so popular; it optimises for the editing experience and for the vast majority of situations this is fine; building the website is cheaper and quicker, and the audience doesn't really care about a 200ms lag on rendering.
My confusion (and I never described this as anything but confusion, so I don't understand your reference to me hating users) is that in a process where we can do better, and use tech that is more appropriate, faster, etc, there is still a preference for WP. Even when the people involved don't have to deal with it. Is it just familiarity, or control, or what? If we have the chance of optimising for the reader's experience, I would think that that would be a huge plus, but apparently not. This is confusing, and a little annoying.

If you believe that this was an attack against you rather than the position that you yourself have laid out in these comments, it's time for some self-reflection.
Your commentary drips with disdain for the people you're ostensibly serving and it's as obvious to them as it is here.
Even in this comment, you don't care to examine why some people have a preference for WordPress, because you believe there's a better option. Truly the behaviour of the stereotypical arrogant developer.
> So, if you're iterating on your product at all, don't go on-prem because it’ll be slower to innovate.
What could you possibly be exprrimenting with that you need the cloud to run? Kafka? Even that is self hostable if you have enough storage and network.
