And, in the broadest sense, that human interface is a CMS; the agent is just another editor, albeit one that happens to read and write raw data rather than using a WYSIWIG (or similar) editor.
Depending on who you talk to, they may not agree. (I am not in this camp but I am certainly aware of people who are.)
I have used Wordpress a lot (too much) and came to the view that for most websites it is just overkill. So I built https://harcstack.org and vowed to write all my new sites in actual code.
HTMX to the rescue since you can write server side code in a sensible way and still have quite a dymanic UX.
That's a weird thing to read. (Not criticism for the author or the article)

Is that a thing worth mentioning? I did that over a decade ago.

I thought it's 2026 now, not early 2010s. People still do that?
> the blasphemous idea that not all sites need a CMS
Is it? People still haven't accepted this?
I expect we'll see a further wave of CMS interfaces which provide a nicer editing experience on top of flat files stored in Git.
Maybe the strategic move for platforms like WordPress (and maybe Django too! The Django admin remains a very popular CMS platform) is to invest more in separation of admin editing from serving, such that there's an obvious path to edit your content in the CMS but deploy it as static files.

Cloudflare is just jealous that most of their customers are actually running WordPress, but this is not something they will be able to solve with AI hype.

Great system as far as I am concerned - even if I tend to use KirbyCMS for most of my projects.
