Local WP is nice, but no

Fezzik, The Princess Bride:

I just figured why you give me so much trouble.

Playing with an instance of WordPress on my computer by way of Local and I’m at a loss. What’s that big friendly-looking thing with the unobtrusive buttons? Where are the 150 things I need to remember for a single post?

Well, they’re probably in the part where I’d need to make sure everything is up to date. With the static site once it’s up I don’t have to care about it any more.

My brain hurts.

I felt like Fezzik.

Well, I haven’t fought one person for so long. I’ve been specialised in groups, battling gangs for local charities, that kind of thing.

Only — you know. Smaller. Not so intimidating.

You use different moves when you’re fighting half a dozen people, than when you only have to be worried about one

Nah, I’ll stick with my overcomplicated static site workflow for now.

So I got Robot Framework testing a bug I had to fix today, which is pretty cool.

Mind you, the fix was ten minutes. Learning sufficient RPA to automate the testing of said fix has been the entire rest of the day.

But I’ll know next time I break the thing.
