“This CMS is so bloated, covering all these use cases that aren’t relevant to me. I’m going to write a simple lightweight CMS that has only the features I need. Oh and I’m going to use a modern JavaScript framework, not this ancient dead one from last month.”
@molly0xfff this is the programming equivalent of woodworkers who own thousands of dollars of gear and only ever build workbenches and tool caddies. It’s a very real problem.
@molly0xfff I'm currently on this train. Writing my own markdown replacement too, because why not :blobfoxbreadsnoot: (aiming to have v0.1 out this weekend :ablobfoxbongo: )
@molly0xfff What's fascinating about reading this in the context of "now" is that... a little over 20 years ago when I started my career it was entirely about writing, modifying, and maintaining various CMSs for clients. In fact, my very first solo commercial software "invention" was a CMS and the primary motivation was... the terrible UI/UX of existing CMSs at the time 😂
