Does it make sense to still program your website?
I write my own scripts for my websites and wondering if this even makes sense
anymore.
I certainly like being able to make any change I want at anytime and do things
my particular way; but whatever "new thingy" I do it seems to be only a matter
of time before something like wordpress will do the same thing.
I could get the jump on the "new thingy" by doing it myself but that only last a
few months.
So maybe the question is to webmasters who don't write their own scripts :
Q: Is it a pain in the ass to use pre-package scripts and you wish you did the
programming yourself?
One thing for sure; I'm not "saving" any money by writing my own scripts if you
factor in my labor time. NO WAY!!
Maybe I'm saving on custom work and adding a nick-nack here and there, but
that's hard to figure out.
I like knowing exactly how my sites work through and through to the smallest
detail; but is that really worth anything when compared to someone who doesn't
know how say wordpress works, but it works all they need it to anyway?
