Thank you, WordPress, for vibecoding a remote admin account creation bug that kept me occupied for 16 hours yesterday. Every time I work with WordPress, my soul shrivels just a bit more.

Consider Jekyll or Astro. These are very good maintainable by Claude. Why would you still use a CMS? Also, when using static sites like that, you can add Umami for analytics, great software! I don't need it anymore, I have all analytics built in the molohttp webserver.
I can assure you if it were my choice that would be the case. But this is a client's setup and they have several clients of their own that wanted WordPress for one reason or another.
My personal site is a basic Rails app because I used to use it to test new things before I integrated the idea into my paying work.
The only thing WordPress has going for it is momentum. It's total trash.
The absolute geniuses that wrote WordPress decided that security updates, even critical security updates, won't get pushed if your site is under version control. What a garbage pile.
I'm not sure if that was a joke, but that's brilliant.
It's both 😁. Maybe, create that proxy server and become famous as the guy that secured WordPress once and for all.
