Oi, how some people complain every time there’s a new .x<\/em> upgrade to WordPress. “Why couldn’t they make it good enough the first time around?” “Upgrading is such a draaaaaag.” So, you’d rather have an upgrade every 2-5 years at most? You’d rather wait that long for a cool new tweak in a feature or a fix to a flaw? Why is it so difficult to grasp the concept of an on-going open source project where the users actually have a say<\/em> in what the “product” is going to be like? (And at the same time everyone complains how Microsoft and Mr. Gates are so dictatorial.)<\/p>\n

After theme structure was introduced to WP, upgrading changed from pretty simple to very simple. Unless you want to go hacky-hacky with the core code, I don’t see any problem with deleting a couple of files and uploading a couple. Sure, there are some files and folders you’re better off not deleting, but there aren’t so many you couldn’t remember them all. All the important stuff is in the database which you don’t touch during the upgrade.<\/p>\n

Simple.<\/p>\n

Or am I just too happy-go-lucky?

\nWell, I am happy and lucky at least: today I was asked if I’d be a project manager. I wouldn’t be full-time PM<\/abbr> because I want and need to be able to do the technical stuff, too, but I wouldn’t necessarily have to do the mundane technical stuff. They want me to find someone to do that. \":)\"<\/small>
