You have a WordPress website and installed some plugins from the official plugin repository. You are using the official repository because it's official, so it's THE repository. You feel a bit safer, also it informs you about the new versions so everything seems OK.
But what
During the International PHP Conference, I had a chance to give a talk called "Give WordPress a try - it's not as bad as you can think". I wanted to show people that despite the reputation that WP has, is a very important CMS and that it evolved in the last years.
Can you imagine that WordPress is 20 years old? I can't. I still wear the t-shirt that was created for WP's 15th birthday. I also remember how we celebrated those birthday in Kalisz, during a WordUp. A lot have changed during those years.
Over time we can hear more and more voices advocating for the WordPress headless approach. The question is - is this really the best for WP to go, or maybe it's just another marketing stunt? Spoiler alert - it's a bit of both.
