With someone like Alex Jones, the statement 'I heard him apologize for it' is pretty much meaningless as he demonstrably changes his stance constantly to fit the most useful minute-to-minute narrative for himself. You basically ne

Without knowing the exact expectations of the people the author spoke to, I'd imagine lots of the misconceptions are on-point. One personal exception for me was how university (not college) prepared me for my future in software enginee

There's a case to be made to shorten the task time I agree, but as noted in the article, when considering the amount of prep-time needed to pass a Codility test, these platforms already expect this amount of investment for applicants -

Ah, very interesting!

The fees are coming from turn-key solutions that offer to solve the issues I note in the article, e.g. paid themes or paid plug-ins. I've made sure to more explicitly motivate the intent of switching to Wordpress being to reduce custom

Appreciate the link. I agree that CSS has come a long way. Not sure I agree this carousel covers 99% of the use cases, if that's what you meant? Regardless, my motivation was to implement as little as possible, as the whole motivation

The point is to comment on vanilla Wordpress itself. I fail to see how the managed service I'm using is relevant? Where exactly in the article am I complaining about being charged for having someone manage my backend?

I'm talking about using native Wordpress functionality on a managed service. Yes, Wordpress is customizable of course, but the goal was to consider the functionality provided in its basic form without payment, and which features requir

I'll grant you the sticky, the font, and heck, I'll even toss in the latest 3 blog posts too, but how in the heck is a gallery lightbox anywhere near 4 lines of CSS and two lines of PHP? And unless I'm missing something, does

I'll make a note of that for part 3 - thanks for the suggestion!

I wonder if 'hostile' is the right word, but I certainly agree that very functional things felt oddly missing. It is definitely super subjective as to what's 'very functional' and part of a basic package, but I&#x27

Good advice. For me, I found that I would on occasion just have large blocks of time away from my site, meaning any sufficiently complex contextual understanding to maintain it withered away. Hence my move to Wordpress which I plan to detai

by Gazoo101 3y ago
I find Wordpress on the whole incredibly useful and the functionality it does offer is great, not complex. My issue is with the omission of what I perceive to be some basic and universally useful features. What's basic is - of course -

A fair point - I had the intention of publishing them all together and got distracted. I thought I'd share the post here, as I now actually do have all the parts lined up and will have them ready within the next 2 weeks. Happy to ping

Do you manage the Wordpress blog installation yourself? As part 2 will detail, the whole purpose of switching to Wordpress was to reduce the work load of building/maintaining the site. I fully agree, Wordpress is swimming in tutorials,

The author's article generally focuses on C (and possibly descendant languages), but the phrase I am critical of, does not. Furthermore, I explicitly consider a very broad selection of programming languages (many not C-derived) in my o

I agree that if we define the individual instructions to always be wholly independent, then sure, it is more straightforward. While I'd probably argue that it is still more difficult to conceptualize, the statement we're discussin

I think this statement at the end of the article - 'There is a common myth in software development that parallel programming is hard.' - is misleading. Granted the author denotes explicit situations where it is not hard, but if it

I agree in general with most of his position. One statement that fell outside of my agreement was him balking at how people leaving Reddit could cause it to crash. Fewer people should mean less load :O That position reminds of me of the Sim
