WordPress—the leading blogging and content management system across the web—is releasing version 5.0 on Thursday [6 Dec]. This marks the first major update in a year, and the most substantive update to the platform in several years, bringing with it a variety of speed optimizations and new features intended to make it more flexible to fit an increasing number of use cases.
The largest change coming to WordPress 5.0 is the Gutenberg editor, which completely reimagines the way writers and other content creators interact with their website. In contrast to increasingly popular markup editors used in other blogging software, the Gutenberg editor is fundamentally WYSIWYG, though with a design flexibility that allows content to be easily reformatted across screen sizes and devices.

Who gives a shit about content creation when the platform itself is fundamentally fucked? Personally, I block all Wordpress sites and look at them as infected servers most likely. Most Wordpress sites I come across are owned by people who perform zero maintenance. They look at it like an investment that needs to exist for 5 years without any added costs. So many of them break because the 3rd party shit isn't updated, licensing expires and stops working, or they get pwned.
If Wordpress has done anything, it's creating thousands of thousands of jobs for people to unfuck it :)
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.

Wordpress lowers the bar for web publishing. Unfortunately, that also incurs risk for inept system admins screwing their own site. Still, an open source CMS being the most popular is ultimately good for the internet (in my opinion). Otherwise we would have the equivalence of Geocities on Google or Facebook hosted websites.
