The original comment was about newbies. Everyone is a newbie at one point.

Just last year I tried a blog engine written in PHP. 24 years programming experience, but I haven't touched PHP for 10 years, and I haven't touched configuring it for 15+ years.

It took me half a day to make it work.

What blog engine? Usually with PHP applications you clone the repo, copy .env boilerplate, enter database credentials, run Composer to fetch dependencies and do some setup tasks, then boot the application.
I really wish people would maintain conversation context for at more than a single reply.
