The 3rd party vendor fallacy

History repeats itself. I remember when the web (1.0 at the time :-) was booming and people were struggling maintaining their website’s content. The options were either to have it all be part of the massive index.php with a phpmyadmin view to manage the content. Or have this elaborate content management framework (like Joomla, Drupal, etc) that (at that time) limited you how your content could be rendered. Custom plugins would help to make it a bit more manageable, but it was very restrictive.
