I wrote a bit about how I'm using my WordPress/Woo sites as my own vibe-coding platform.
I shared the boilerplate I use for new extensions, and some thoughts on what I'd like to see in WordPress to make this easier.

I looked at OpenClaw and read through the Showcase items of what people had been doing with it: openclaw.ai/showcase. And I might be a little long in the tooth and all that, but half of them seems to be things that Mac Automator and Alexa already do?

When the engineers say, "It's not safe. Something bad will happen," it's always best to listen and err on the side of caution.

This Terrorvision album is so fantastically silly, and I can't help loving it. Listening to it again this morning for the first time in a year or two and it just makes the world a better place ;-)

I can't be alone in thinking that Elementor doesn't really feel like WordPress anymore? It seems to be more like Wix or Squarespace or Webflow. The fact that WordPress is under the surface seems to be neither here nor there. Certainly not in their marketing.
