While trying to keep an level head about this all, I’m feeling the urge to start withdrawing from the WordPress name and software. Not in a frantic rush to dump the CMS and migrate to another project or product, but definitely exploring other alternatives (which, by the way, are numerous!)
Automattic vs WP Engine… what’s that mean for us? Is Wordpress in trouble?
Lately, the art of selling “new things” by telling folks they’re “the opposite of the old standard” has really gotten popular, especially in tech. It’s “disrupting,” it’s “changing the way we do business!” Spoiler alert: There is no such thing as “serverless” and there’s no such thing as a “no code.”
Sorry for the clickbait, it’s usually not my style, but it’s called for in this instance, I promise. I am a fan of Wordpress, actually. It’s a great CMS, especially for blogging, but also for much more. In fact, it can do almost anything, from e-commerce to membership sites, and more. That’s the problem. Wordpress is huge – it’s not just a power tool, it’s a whole garage full of them. Sometimes, you need all the tools you can muster – sometimes though… you just need a screwdriver.
