Sameer Malek is a Senior Full Stack Developer at ConicPlex, working across the stack on projects that don’t fit neatly into one platform or framework. He’s often the person weighing a genuine platform or architecture decision rather than defending one side of it, since his work regularly crosses between WordPress, custom builds, and everything in between. He writes here about the comparisons and tradeoffs that come up when there’s more than one reasonable way to build something.
