   Hey you. You wanted to build a website or blog?
   
   You now choose between between these two types of software:The most bloated enterprise crap ever constructed by mankind with 2 million lines of legacy PHP code.
   Some minimal markdown only static site generator.There really is no inbetween that non-technical people can just use to make a simple website.
   
   Maybe someone should fix that?

     @SuperDicq raise your hand if you want to work for free to make a complex product (rich text editor)

     @icedquinn@blob.cat I got too many paid projects to do one for free at the moment, sorry.

     @icedquinn @SuperDicq I decided to never do frontend work again and I am certain that a rich text editor is probably the most unfun and unrewarding thing imaginable to work on

     @sun @SuperDicq i was going to build one in nim because i still want the return of desktop outliner software but crippling depression and burnout happened.

     @sun @SuperDicq reality is most of the people who are still capable of this level of sophisticated coding can probably pay their rent doing something easier.
     
     you don't get a nice house and girls doing hard shit for free just because someone needs it

     @icedquinn@blob.cat @sun@shitposter.world I think in my case programming is probably the easiest thing I can do that makes me the most amount of money in return.

     @SuperDicq @sun when i had a tech job they were literally paying morons to tape line re-buffering code to support some stupid format the golden boy decided they would just casually get the W3C to accept someday

     @icedquinn@blob.cat @sun@shitposter.world I don't know what you're talking about, but that sounds like a horrible company.
     
     For me programming is not that draining because I tend with and for people that I actually like and listen to me when I say that whatever they want to do is dumb and we should do it in a better and more efficient way?
     
     I can't imagine having to do physical labor every day instead, that would suck for me personally.

     @icedquinn@blob.cat @sun@shitposter.world I think if I grew up before computer were a thing I would've probably become a car mechanic or something instead and like live 20 years shorter.

     @SuperDicq @sun yes but the point is i could have paid rent by just doing retarded java copy/pasting instead of learning complex dynamic programming algorithms to typeset

     @icedquinn@blob.cat @sun@shitposter.world Staying sane while doing codemonkey type work is actually harder than staying sane doing something actually useful I think.
     
     So in reality you choose the easy way.

     @SuperDicq @sun i wanted to do useful things but it turns out you don't get medical care or girls trying to make stuff people need.

     @SuperDicq just use the static site thing. if you want more, you need to learn programming

     @condret@shitposter.world The thing with these static site generators is that they are not usable by non-tech people because you need to at least learn how to write markdown and use git and such.

     @icedquinn@blob.cat @sun@shitposter.world You've been working for the wrong people then but I manage to make enough money doing mostly building useful software that people actually like using.

     @mangeurdenuage@shitposter.world This falls under the category "minimal static site generator" and definitely requires technical skills to use.

     @zonk@shitposter.world That's even worse, that's not even software you're recommending, that's a service as a software substitute.

     @SuperDicq there is. squarespace, tilda, etc. that's what normies use, and they're fine with the $20/m card charge
