WordPress plugins are tools, code to improve a website. Knowing this, we can easily imagine that they belong to the Ego part in the Freud’s system of the world.
There is more common links between WP plugins and Mr. Freud. Take the pain-pleasure principle, for example. It strives to fulfill our most basic and primitive urges, when these needs are not met, the result is a state of anxiety or tension.
WP plugins are very much connected to this principle. Because sometimes, especially if you’re creating something alone, you can’t get them to work. Frustration, anxiety, and tension are the mildest words to describe your feelings.
