If you are a developer consider using this tech stack for your blog instead of WordPress

This is nice, but sometimes even if you can, you don't want to have to manage the blog and make sure it stays up and running.

I'm building Swish.ink for people don't want to spend time managing their blog, and just want to write.

Or, instead of wasting your time building a blog that you have to maintain and develop you just use one of the existing hosted or self hosted blogging tools like WordPress. That way you can spend your time writing instead of procrastinating by reinventing the wheel.

You are right, if you know how to code, you don't need Wordpress. But you can use it anyway :). I'm a JAMstack addicted and yeah, Imho there are a lot of solution that are better than Wordpress. Not only Next JS, but a continuosly growing number of SSG (that means Static Sites Generators, not Server Side Generation), and some of these SSG are able to render the html & css on the server on the fly (SSR, Server Side Rendering). Anyway, I've never deepen Wordpress, but as a developer I'll code my websites myself effortlessy and without spend too much.

• Getting up and running with a tech stack to build a basic blog doesn't sound like fun (that is why there are 100s of memes about it)
• I'm a developer and really don't like markdown. I much prefer a UI.

I built my website in Gatsby, but honestly, I think most developers would be better served using WordPress and focusing more of their time creating great content.

Clearly you never really used WordPress
