My biggest takeaway to the release of Emdash is that WordPress needs to start taking headless a lot more seriously. It’s API surface and even a potential GraphQL surface would really benefit from a polish, but also the ability to set it up in a next JS stack easily, perhaps with Docker or something.

Y’all, for 3 years it’s been the same seesaw:
Anthropic comes out with the best model on the market
Everyone rushes to Claude
Anthropic pushes usage limits usage too far
OpenAI comes out with a model that’s 90% of Claude’s model with fewer limits
Everyone runs to OpenAI
Repeat.

If you’re not using AI to write themed sea shanties for your nautical-themed company nomenclature, are you even a developer? That’s what the GitHub release box is for, right?

Boy, it won’t be long before we’re talking about the fact that nobody’s ever taking breaks because AI is always in their pocket. I can already see the backlash coming. Take breaks y’all.
