I've come to this point where I'm able to write a fully featured content management system in less than a day. At least so it seems. Geeky!
Q: How the f*ck did that happen?!
A:
That's a good question. But before I will answer it, something else. Is it a good or bad thing? You could say, it's not bad to be able to write a full cms in that short amount of time. On the other hand, the fact that I came to this point in my life... Well, it says a thing or two about my geekyness.
Now, you might wonder why I make such a point of that. Maybe you're a startup web developer only dreaming of being able to do this, or maybe you're way more experienced and you think I'm talking trash now. But no. The fact that I would devote one whole day to write something trivial like a CMS, that's just plain stupid. Apart from the lost time, time I could have spent in a club chasing girls for instance, it's not good for my business either.
In fact, it's really bad. Because I already have a good and working CMS for my clients. So, why build another one from (almost) scratch? I really don't know. I didn't had my laptop at hand (was at my parents' place, and used my dad's MacBook Pro) and I guess I was to lazy to download a fresh copy from my web server. Besides from that, It was kinda fun.
Imagine it like you are a caveman, and you just invented the wheel. But your neighbour just invented beer, and after one night of drinking, laughing and chasing some women's flesh, you wake up wondering where you left your wheel. So, hang-over-y as you are, you chop a new tree and make a new wheel... A better one!
A better one.
Yes, A better CMS. Although, it's not as seasoned as my other CMS, it's built much more modular, making the system more scalable and easier to expand when needed.
Still, I think my geek-o-meter went up a level, yesterday. Not good, or is it?
