It's amazing how many people keep using this POS. It's just like Jenkins. Total POS, but literally everyone uses it. I suspect because the complexity of building a feature-parity replacement is so large that nobody really gets started on it, because it'd take probably 3 years to reach a point where it makes more sense to use the alternative.
What's amazing as well is how the companies who churn out these techno-turds have no compunction about the design flaws of their tools. Oh, everything about using these things is an anti-pattern? But we're still making money right?
People who promote static site generators do not understand why Wordpress is popular. Wordpress is like the anti-static-site-generator. People who use it don't care about automation or robustness or simplicity. They just don't want to deal with any technical bullshit. Just let me point and click on things.
I mean, shit, I spent several months building my custom templates for Wordpress years ago, and I haven’t really had to do anything with it since. It works. I go off and make the art and comics it’s there to hold, and I spend a few minutes in WP posting it. And WP autoposts about my posts to the social media sites that have completely replaced RSS. The last goddamn thing I want to do is be on the bleeding edge of some bullshit that I have to be constantly hacking on.
It may be a giant mess under the hood, but my experience is one of automation, robustness, and simplicity. It just keeps on trucking along with no more thought on my part than “oh it wants to update, okay let’s hit that update button on the core and plugins” every so often.
After several years now using Drone and bazel for managing CI/CD, I would take Jenkins in a heart beat. Jenkins is sooo much better than Drone, it almost makes me cry.
