Slightly off topic, but I've been making some shorts content recently breaking down some of the fundamental problems with WordPress when compared to modern dev practices.

It's been funny to read them: "you just don't know how to use WordPress" or "you aren't using the right plugins."

I built custom WP themes/plugins for 15 years.

It's like saying the reason your horse isn't as fast as a car is because you don't know how to ride it properly.
