@va3db Good for you. Some long-time operators need to realize that you cannot gatekeep the hobby and then complain about how so few people pick it up.

I think I like this way of looking at it. I mean, that doesn't help any of us whose bosses expect the thing to get deployed, but silver linings and all that.

I'm glad you had a lunch you enjoyed Rick and I hope your day is going well.

So if you're reliant on REST API stuff don't use them because they will (a) casche your endpoints and (b) even when you exclude those from casche they'll end up back in the cue. Pagely is a little more expensive but doesn't tend to have these issues.

I think for managed hosting, WPEngine or Pagely are better than the traditional hosts who have decided to get into managed hosting. Of those two, WPEngine tends to not accommodate things like Python clients and indieweb stuff very well at all, specifically indieauth and micropub, both of which require API endpoints. +
