WordPress wasn't built for decentralized compute. It runs on it anyway. With Acurast Cargo, you can deploy a full WordPress site: web server, PHP, database, persistent files, all on an Acurast processor. No VPS, no cloud instance. Read how:

Automattic's board put Matt Mullenweg on leave. He returned, and three directors are now out, @TechCrunch reports. The company behind @WordPress confirmed his return. It has not explained why the board put him on leave.

Nobody said “vibe” coders are replacing senior engineers on a 12 year old enterprise platform. They’re building the other 90% of software:
a tracker for the shop
a family recipe app
a WordPress workflow that used to take a whole Saturday
a local agent that actually does one job You don’t need to know every framework convention to ship that.
You do need taste, persistence, and the ability to tell the model “that smells wrong, try again.” That’s the new class.
Not “fake developers.”
Just people who can now finish things they used to only describe.

I let AI take control of my browser. Here’s what happened. My editorial director and I decided to start publishing our email newsletter on our WordPress website. She got it over there, but something was off — the margins weren’t right, and it just looked kind of thrown together. We went back and forth, and back and forth, until she hit her limit: “I can’t really go any further.” So I asked her to put the source code into a Google Doc. I looked at it. I didn’t know what I was looking at. That’s when I fired up Claude Cowork and said, “Go look at the code, go look at the preview of the article, and tell me what’s wrong.” It came back with “I found it.” A margins issue. Fixed relatively quickly. But here’s the big unlock. I then said, “Put together a detailed document I can give to my editorial director so she can understand how this happened and how it will never happen again.” It wrote a multi-page document in everyday English. She’s not techie. She’s not a developer. And now she can fix this herself, time and time again. AI didn’t just solve my problem — it helped me communicate it clearly to my team. So here’s my question: What’s the thing you don’t understand that you haven’t handed over to AI yet? This is Mike Thoughts from the Porch.
