I am working with WordPress a lot more. And so that has me thinking about WordPress a lot more. One thing I cannot shake is how messy the platform feels. And how poor of a developer experience that WordPress provides. It could be better.
I watched this video from Pantheon Developer Advocate, and thought it was interesting. I can feel the frustration - Is more Gutenberg the future of WordPress?
This article also nicely illustrates the state of WordPress developer experience - Modern WordPress - Yikes! Yikes indeed. It’s rough.
Wrapping WordPress with your own tooling helps quite a bit!
Anyways, just generally disappointed with WordPress, Gutenberg, “Full Site Editing”, and all things related to modern WordPress. I like React, and think they could do something really interesting with block based development in WordPress, but the current state is just, meh.
