Hi Andrei, I can develope WordPress custom websites. Not the themes that are reusable. My problem is I have to look up in google for every simple thing. Is it normal for a programmer? Or something wrong with my memory. I dont even remember how to create a child theme. So I saved it in my notepad with instructions. Whenever I see it i understand.

[@AndreiBrindas]

Hey man, don't worry about this. I also have to Google a lot for a lot of things 😅. There is a lot of information and you can't just memorize it all in an instant, it takes time. Whether I work on WordPress or anything else, I work with the documentation open. Saves me a lot of time

I started learning programming by developing games with unity 3d then I started making android apps with java XML Jason etc and learned a bit about asp.net, of course, I didn't master any of them but now i feel like a fraud using page builders and plugins to make websites, what do you think of that is using tools like elementor to create websites that people want is something wrong for a programmer or someone interested in programing to do, the thing is WordPress is so addictive for me and i can create so much so fast and it works but still i feel like cheating using tools like Divi or elementor i would like to hear from you and is it worth it to learn theme development from the beginning if i do websites for clients

[@AndreiBrindas]

Hey man, I see no problem in using theme builders to build WordPress website. I really enjoy coding, but many times I wish I would pick a page builder as well (and some times I do). There's nothing wrong with building site with a page builder. You can use your programming knowledge to make more advanced features on your websites.
