Yet, I want learn the guts of it instead of just booting up some

Here's a simple computation to consider... WordPress' codebase is
approximately a megabyte of PHP code and megabyte of JavaScript code.
Assuming that the average line of that code is 50 characters long, you
are looking at 20,000 lines of code in PHP and as many in JavaScript.
Based on the notion that the average developer out there writes 100
lines a day, either you're in for a two-year project or your product
is going to have seriously reduced functionality compared to something
that's been freely available for years. What's your choice?
Nope, the core functionality of a blogging software could be
replicated in just a few lines of PHP codes, in the range of tens to
hundreds of lines. If you're creating your own blogging software, you
wouldn't seriously think you'd recreate all those things such as
pingbacks, commenting system, etc, etc, etc. No, you'd start with some
basic core functionalities: a few simple server side includes only.
As he said - it's either a two man-year project or your product is going
to have seriously reduced functionality. It looks like you are opting
for the latter.
Also, you still need to write the server-side includes. But they won't
do nearly enough for everything WordPress does.
