I've been using PHP for many years and I consider myself at least competent. I have worked with many framework and understand the learning curve they come with.

However, I have a client that wants me to work on a project. It uses Drupal. It was recommended by his PM and the team that first started building the website for him.

Now he parted from the team and wants me to continue the development. I feel stupid for not understanding Drupal at all. I read documentations, tutorials, watched videos and it still feels strange to use it.

This project is not even a blog or article driven. Making the smallest changes is a hassle. I managed to build a Prototype using an MVC framework in a couple of days, much easier.

I have tried to tell the client that it is best to leave Drupal behind, but Googling comments about Drupal and reviews only yield more reasons to use it.

Am I the only person thinking using Drupal for a non-CMS project is more work that needs to be?

I've been receiving spam urls for a while but this one grabbed my attention:

> непереводимая.рф

When I access it, it redirects to xn--80adgcaax6acohn6r.xn--p1ai

is xn--p1ai a valid TLD?

How come the browser accepts it as a url in the first place?

I understand that the experience you have is more important, but the problem is getting filtered out before you get the chance to talk to someone.

Some HR department filters out the resumes of degree-less candidates. How do you get pass this road block?

I rarely if ever hear people suggesting dmoz.org anymore. It used to be the craze when I was getting started in web development and SEO

Did dmoz become irrelevant? Do you even go to dmoz ever? Are search engines not considering its weight anymore?
