I think WordPress is a gem that is far more useful than people know. I didn't discover it myself until a couple of years ago when I tripped across the REST api. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I thought you had to program in PHP and go direct to the database to build apps…

@wmf Some people don’t always want to get information, there are other uses for computers, as creative tools. The internet still hasn’t caught up with PCs in that use case. It could but the oligarchs don’t see it.

Used for prepress of print pubs, and then merged into the web. Also database publishing. There’s no doubt a pony in there for mcp, my gut says it’s http and various…
