lol, a Wordpress developer. So… not a developer.
They are better off without Wordpress.
So Long WordPress.

Whoever can see through WordPress’s spaghetti code must be a genius.

No, regular intelligence is all I needed. I made over a dozen plugins ( private not sold ) . I no longer have to maintain most.
One can pick up patterns, and the hooks get intuitive.
It’s not a bad framework, for the 1990s. It lacks many things, and God help anyone who wants to put a lot of data in it, or have multiple instances. It can be done , but omg.
And don’t get me started on the bad and lazy work seen in many of the popular plugins .
This is what a lot of the world depends on for day to day existence

While there are quite a few agencies and solo devs that click their sites together using crap like Elementor and a bunch of no name plugins that could often be replaced by a single line of code, there are also people building building clean maintainable sites with it.
That said, I usually don’t pick it for my projects. Kirby CMS is a much more flexible alternative. For anything more complex there’s Laravel with Filament to build a nice admin panel.

Any examples? I want to know what counts as a clean WP site.

Kirby
I wish they had agency pricing. Buying a license for every install is a bit much.

Not a WP dev. Just a (techie) user.
This whole thing seems so unnecessary. FOSS devs would love to get a fraction of the goodwill being squandered here.
