It’s Just Software
Seen on the secret Automattic chat room:
photomatt_lap: okay, think we can import their wp_tags to categories and
just switch up those functions to use wp_categories instead of wp_tags?
rboren: Well of course we can...
rboren: It's just software.
Seen on the Famous Quotes secret chat room:
non-quotes: Blog software is scary and hard to use.
quotes: It’s just another content management system.

I say the same thing working as a tester/designer – “Can we do it? We can do anything, it’s just code. You just have to be willing to buy enough of it”

Heh, I use that one all the time. A customer will ask, “Can you do X?” and I say, “Hey. sure, it’s just software.”
Which of course makes the developers cringe.
But not as much as the customers usually cringe when they see the cost estimate.
And Hi Matt!

Matt, my blog appears to load matt.wordpress.com when it’s loading and it appears the stylesheets for my theme are located here! Interesting :p
I thought you were taking over for a second :p

Ew. This sounds like some more “tags and categories are the same” abuse. Tell me I’m wrong, please Matt. I want real categories back on WordPress too.
