Happy 22nd, WordPress!

We had a small birthday party, organized by DevriX and celebrated 22 years of WordPress with cupcakes, snacks, and beer.

I remember the days of building custom CMSs from scratch for every project. Each one came with the same recurring challenges: handling forms, fighting spam, scaling images, building a page editor, and so on. WordPress—and a few of its competitors—helped democratize this process. It made web publishing and commerce accessible to everyone and created fertile ground for the open web to thrive.

  1. Yes, HBD WordPress.
    I’ve been on the platform since the start, moved around a lot but glad I stuck around.
    Keep it freshly pressed everyone.
