Overview

That pesky manager “Chris” is back
He’s oddly stopped caring about security of open source;
You must have convinced him open stuff is great.
However it talked to a vendor at a conference and after buying him dinner…
He’s making you use WordPress
We have a big client coming up that wants eCommerce solutions though, so he has his reasons; Grav / 11ty are NOT going to be able to do that
He has other concerns though with WordPress because he’s heard talk of a fork, scalability concerns, and editing experience.
He doesn’t “get” any of these issues, but then again, that’s why you have a job… now isn’t it?!
