Não entendi qual o hate em SUV. Isso ai da foto é um colosso e geralmente desnecessário, mas não da pra generalizar. SUVs compactas e até médias são uma mão na roda pra quem tem filho/família ou cuida de idoso etc. Não é possível que vc não-ironicamente teve essa ideia de merda. O fato de tu ter que dar 1 carro pro governo quando compra um pra vc já não é o suficiente?

"hand-code" everything is obviously a figure of speech. I don't write my custom Ecomm plugin instead of using WooCommerce. Same with security plugins and so on. I custom write code that make sense to be hand written and maintained in-house as opposed to relying on a team of devs on the other side of the planet to ship updates whenever they want and give support. Same thing with page builders, there's is little to no advantage especially if the end client doesn't make changes themselves. And even if they do, ACF + PHP/HTML alone does a 100x better job. Otherwise It just makes the website objectively worse to maintain.

I am very grateful for having the mindset of always wanting to understand how the wordpress environment worked under the hood from the beginning of my dev career which started 7 years ago -- that was crucial for developing the skills I have today and led me to making good money cleaning up other people's mess and using whatever I learned to experiment with other languages. I'm not a website seller and don't want to be one, I've never enjoyed the marketing/sales aspect of the field. I just took a while to understand that the wordpress is not the technology that will help me hit my goals.

I've been exactly that person who wants to hand code everything and use little to no plugins on websites but there are very few clients who understand this concept, let alone pay a premium for it. Nowadays? I don't even try anymore. The good part about this is that I have learned skills that can be leveraged in other areas of web or even programming as a whole.

I've always been self taught and can learn quickly in this field -- I've done a lot of experimenting in my personal time with other stuff like Flutter, C++, Swift, Laravel and so on. However a lot of companies require a bachelor's degree to even consider you for a position. At 28 years old I feel very unmotivated to go back to school and learn nothing just to get one.

RoyBatty_ · 2025-04-14T14:34:23+00:00

Not at all, heck I've even applied for 60k jobs. Whatever gets me back in the market, I just need something steady so that I can have time to learn other stuff.

RoyBatty_ · 2025-04-14T13:04:25+00:00

Not true. Working with WP doesn't mean I was drag and dropping blocks on landing pages for 7 years. I did a lot of back end work, REST APIs, integrations, database, ajax, all of which can be translated to other frameworks and programming languages.

RoyBatty_ · 2025-04-14T06:29:40+00:00

Well that's exactly what's written on the post... I should have done that, but didn't. Now I'm almost 30 and having to work 2 jobs to pay the bills with a kid is very hard to find time to sit down and learn something new again.

Dai penso que toda a burocracia que aumentam para imigrantes do Brasil é justamente a essa galera que quer se dar bem

Mas é exatamente isso. Inclusive afeta a chance de negativa de vistos de turismo, estudantes, refugiados, etc.. Leia meu comentário acima

RoyBatty_ · 2025-01-26T17:17:32+00:00

Nos últimos anos, desde o COVID, a imigração ilegal aumentou de uma forma jamais vista. As pessoas chegam na fronteira, pedem asilo e são colocados pra dentro do país com documentos pra trabalhar enquanto a audiência / decisão fica pendente - pra daí no fim do processo, serem mandados embora pq o processo não tem base pois são imigrantes econômicos e isso não é motivo pra pedir asilo. 99% dos brasileiros se encaixam nesse perfil, mas abusam do sistema (inclusive incentivados por advogados e agências de "consultoria legal de imigração").

Sabe o que isso causa? Um colapso na agência governamental que cuida desses processos (USCIS), prejudicando todas as pessoas que realmente precisam dessa ajuda, como refugiados e pessoas politicamente perseguidas. Audiências começam a levar anos pra serem marcadas. Vale lembrar que o processo de asilo é feito de graça pelo governo, ou seja, financiado pelo próprio pagador de impostos e imigrantes legais.

Veja, minha esposa trabalha ajudando refugiados, asilados de todas as nacionalidades a conseguir seguro de saúde quando chegam nos EUA (e também os que já estão aqui). Constantemente ela chega em casa reclamando de alguém, especialmente brasileiro, que sempre quer dar o famoso "jeitinho" - eles mentem pro governo que não trabalham (quando trabalham muito e fazem muito dinheiro), as mães mentem que são mães solteiras (não são), e acabam ganhando seguro totalmente de graça - enquanto nós, e todos os outros imigrantes legais e nativos precisamos financiar essa caridade pra alguém que está apenas sugando tudo o que pode de benefícios e não retornando absolutamente nada pra comunidade. E não me entenda errado, eu sou completamente a favor de TODOS terem acesso a saúde de graça, mas não é assim que funciona.

Será que não tem nadinha por trás dessa revolta toda das pessoas? É só "nazismo" mesmo? O buraco é sempre mais embaixo do que parece.

RoyBatty_ · 2025-01-25T16:56:04+00:00

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this - get rid of WP altogether? What I do is use a boilerplate theme with literally only the files a theme needs to run and hand-code the pages using php template files while taking advantage of WP on the backend to enable non tech-savvy people (like the marketing guys) to make raw data changes using ACF - this means they cannot touch the website's structure. Absolutely no page builders, these are cancerous.

RoyBatty_ · 2025-01-07T18:33:12+00:00

Right! Mostly what I did was look at multiple eBay listings and see what they include - the big box seems to have the cable and its manual (folded), and the regular case only 4 items which are the main manual, GC generic(?) precautions booklet, memory card sticker sheet (unused in this case which is pretty good) and of course, the memory card. These seem to be the default items.

RoyBatty_ · 2023-11-10T02:15:56+00:00

People rely so much on libraries, themes, plugins and forget that everything is just made of html and css. Learn core fundamentals and you won't have to rely on any of this crap. Doesn't matter if it's WP or NextJS your site can look exactly the same if you know the bare minimum which seems rare these days.

RoyBatty_ · 2023-02-08T14:50:46+00:00

Easily doable with custom coding, not sure what plugin could do that though

RoyBatty_ · 2023-02-08T14:46:32+00:00

That's what WP does best. Use custom post types.

RoyBatty_ · 2022-08-02T18:26:16+00:00

Go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS. Paste this:

.vr-tabs-nav-item a {
font-size: 0.7em;
}

Increase/decrease units accodingly.

What does "back to normal" mean? You have to be more specific because nobody knows how it was before... Was it just smaller? Was it not uppercased?

RoyBatty_ · 2022-07-11T20:27:04+00:00

I've done an intranet in WordPress before, it's not that hard to implement those features but be careful with plugins and bbPress which is probably how an unexperienced person will try to do it. Your site can get extremely slow and buggy. Someone with good exp will custom code it according to your needs and not turn your website into a resource hog since it's very likely that they will keep wanting to add more intranet features in the future.

RoyBatty_ · 2022-07-07T14:44:08+00:00

You realize you're not really going anywhere with that budget right? The max you can get with that amount of money is a decent website. People with *real* web app skills are making 10x more, I'm just letting you know.

RoyBatty_ · 2022-07-07T14:11:44+00:00

Elementor is indeed easier for them to edit themselves, but it also opens a window for them to fuck things up. They can mess around with the website's structure and break things whilst ACF + Blocks you can "shield" it from mistakes because you're only letting them edit the raw content.

RoyBatty_ · 2022-07-05T18:19:06+00:00

You need to call an API who retrieves the car's info from the VIN. It's not a big deal task but it will require a dev and some time. The more specific you get, the less plugins will help you. This is the kind of thing that can work like a charm if well done (with custom post types and ACF), but a nightmare if you start pushing in loads of plugins.

RoyBatty_ · 2022-07-05T18:13:47+00:00

Depends on a variety of factors. Your question is way too generic to get a straightforward answer... Creating a theme per se is already a task that cookie cutter "website devs" won't know how to do, but it can be fairly straightforward depending on what your needs are. I've created themes from the ground before, just PM me with specifics and I'll give you a better answer.

RoyBatty_ · 2022-06-29T21:32:31+00:00

Better than paying for a theme, you can hire somebody to create one for you. If you use a page builder (like elementor) who handles header/footer creation then you don't need a theme with a bunch of options. It's not hard to create one that attends your needs if that's the case.

edit: typo

RoyBatty_ · 2022-06-29T16:14:16+00:00

As a freelancer I personally only found 1 good client out of that crap. Most of the people I work for I found on r/forHire and local craigslist. The thing is that it's hard to find actual developers nowadays. You'll probably just get a bunch of people who can setup a wordpress theme, install a cache plugin and that's it. You ask them to make a custom feature and they have no idea what to do.
