reading these comments - wow, absolutely nobody has an idea what a CMS is. if your going to "replace it with cursor" or "AI" you've completely lost the plot as a software engineer you guys do realize that WordPress

it's a con job and strawman take. if we collectively think token generators can replace humans completely, well then we've already lost the plot as a global society

Just shows you how absolutely little people know about the web ecosystem - most people heard something once or twice from someone else and just assume its true - to make matters worse, you have the typical HN "vanilla html and js only!

I just read this seperately through Google Discover, and I don't quite get amazing newness of it - if anything, it feels to me like of an abstraction of MCP - there is nothing I see here that couldnt be replaced by a series of MCP tool

Has anyone else noticed that HN is starting to sound a lot like reddit / discussion of similar quality? Can't hang out anywhere now on the web... I used to be on here daily but with garbage like this its been reduced to 2-3 times

yep, ive still never understood the fetish of HN folks wanting to eliminate JS completely. you tell them to use TS, they say its overcomplicated... i've never heard a definitive or decent answer to "ok what language WOULD you use
