Commenting w/o reading the article. WordPress triggered me.

Last month I created a brand new site using WordPress. I followed a 90 minute video on YouTube where I was instructed step-by-step on what to do. The result is that I'm happy with the finished product and learned a lot about WordPress along the way.

However, I would have NEVER got there on my own absent this remarkable YT video. WordPress is too complex, too bloated, too filled with messages from plugins, too reliant on magic, too reliant on plugins to do anything advanced beyond setup a post or page.

I hate WordPress so much. I'll still use it because it's entrenched, and because it's less time that coding a Jekyll site to equivalent functionality.

But I hate it. Thoroughly.
