I am a master web developer. I can build a database. I can sling code. I can write an API. I can deploy resources. I am grateful WordPress exists so I don’t have to do any of that stuff. This thing called WordPress means I don’t have to worry about building websites to have a website. All the work has been removed for me. I can do the work but I’m glad I don’t have to.
There was a time when having a website meant lots of work messing with the website. While this can be fun and cool. With my current projects I would rather spend my time blogging and writing than working with the website. In a lot of ways it comes down to a matter of focus. A tool like WordPress just lets me focus on building the content I am building and not all the other stuff. Too many times we all get bogged down in the technical stuff. Anything that can eliminate that baggage is worth a look.
In the last year I wrote a book and really upped my writing game. I think this process would have been a much longer one if I had been stuck in technical details. I barely touched any code or technology at all in 2019 and it really freed my mind up. So thank you WordPress for making life easier.
