25 years of systems thinking, applied to systems that think.
The models don't need to be better. The infrastructure doesn't need to be faster. What's missing is the architectural layer that makes intelligence orchestratable, auditable, and actually useful inside a real organization.
That's the work. It has always required clear thinking, deep systems knowledge, and the discipline to build for what comes after the hype.
The question is what you'll have built by the time everyone else catches up.
A CloudFest Hackathon build that mapped seven Bento web components into eleven Gutenberg blocks. How the editor's edit/save duality lets React run the backend and lightweight web components run the frontend — plus honest findings on nesting, developer experience, and performance.
The script behind a WordCamp US 2019 lightning talk on why open-source burnout traces to one root cause: cost. How the helper's high, social comparison, and unspoken norms push volunteers to overspend their time — and why destigmatising the money conversation is the sustainable fix.
WordPress can auto-update its own code but stays blind to the PHP and MySQL versions underneath it. A proposal, drafted with core contributors at WordCamp Europe, for a bidirectional protocol that lets applications query server capabilities and request infrastructure changes hosts stay free to honour or refuse.
What changes if you design a WordPress site for an AI agent as the primary reader, not a retrofit afterthought? The architectural shifts — content modelling, addressability, provenance — that separate sites cited in the agentic era from those crawled over silently.
Two decades of web dominance gave WordPress a training-data moat; the next two years turn on whether it builds for the AI agents handling content discovery and site management. The trajectory from that moat to the Abilities API, MCP adoption, and AI Building Blocks — and what the industry must work out before 7.0.
