I'm a freelancer currently using the tech stack I'm familiar with to create websites for clients, but I'm curious about WordPress. Could learning it open up new opportunities or help me be more efficient? Are there still job openings or demand for WordPress developers and freelancers these days? Thanks for any insights!

Absolutely! I'm still getting a solid salary working in WordPress, especially with marketing firms. Just don't limit yourself to it, as there are other options out there too.
You can find loads of WordPress gigs on platforms like UpWork. It remains extremely popular, so if you’re looking to grow your freelance career, learning it could be a strategic move.
I'm interested in what others think about transitioning to WordPress' Gutenberg editor. As a dev from the pre-Gutenberg days, I find myself unsure about its future. Some say it's easy to customize, but I’m not a fan of the direction they’ve taken.
Most CMS websites online are built with WordPress, making up about 46% or more of all websites. It's definitely worth investing time in learning it.
Yes, but make sure to learn it properly. There's a lot of bad implementation out there; try not to be one of those people who just tosses a bunch of plugins and a theme together.
What resources do you suggest for learning it the right way?
