Why WordPress?

December 4th, 2008

Somebody asked me once…  If I am such an experienced and talented PHP developer, then why use an off-the-shelf solution like WordPress.

My answer….  the same reason I don’t change my own oil.  I know how to change my oil, but it’s way easier to just take my car to Jiffy Lube and let them do it.  Why over complicate things?

If I had some totally groovy or super-innovative idea about what a blog should could be, I’d gladly roll my own code.  As it stands, WordPress does everything I need, so it just made sense.

Besides, I don’t have the time to build something custom for myself.  I’m a busy man!
