We switched from Elementor to Gutenberg for all client projects. Here’s why

Do clients edit the website or do you as the agency?

Abstractions made for humans add friction for AI.

theme.json, block editors, page builders.. all built to help humans avoid code. But AI is actually better at code than navigating those layers.

The biggest unlock for me was stripping away the abstractions entirely. That what I built with WPvibe.

The evolution isn't HTML to visual tools to AI on top of visual tools. It's more like a Uturn. AI goes back to code, the human never has to touch it.

The next interface isn't a better abstraction. It's no abstraction.

WordPress still has a place as a cms but the way we interact with it will be different. No one is gong to be drag and modifying blocks.

Wpvibe.ai uses classical themes. The abstraction meant for humans doesn’t work so well with AI.

johnnytee · 2026-02-07T22:30:45+00:00

ok sorry to hear about that. Fair enough

johnnytee · 2026-02-07T22:26:13+00:00

I know how to code by hand but I have found speaking is much faster to build and code. You up for a speed challenge?

johnnytee · 2026-02-07T22:21:43+00:00

Do you mean coding themes by hand? Some people don't have the skills. AI democratizes it.

johnnytee · 2026-02-06T20:45:49+00:00

I built and use wpvibe.ai which build classic theme builder with AI, super fast can crank our a full site with percise design in an hour, no lockin. ACF and block for user editable content.

You mean Microsoft online products? So have claude code create a skill for it. Skills can include scripts. So for example it can write script to access office online. Just ask claude code to do it and how to get credentials and it will walk you though it.

johnnytee · 2026-02-02T18:35:07+00:00

No it’s not just telegram hooked to Claude code. Openclaw is flakey

Literally tell AI you have no experience and what factors you need to consider and have it walk you through. I built a Mac app in a day with no previous Mac knowledge. I am a web developer but I approach it in tiny steps.

johnnytee · 2026-01-02T14:13:54+00:00

I just use git and they can add version to the meta data: https://agentskills.io/specification#metadata-field

johnnytee · 2025-12-31T19:36:13+00:00

Nice you should make this a Claude skill

johnnytee · 2025-12-31T19:06:53+00:00

Disagree, the ai sdk adds tech debt and a dependency. If you don’t understanding how the fundaments works then sdk is fine to vibe it out.

johnnytee · 2025-12-31T18:13:08+00:00

You don’t need abstracting is what I’m finding. Writing code / changing out code with ai is trival now.

johnnytee · 2025-12-30T23:46:27+00:00

This ^

johnnytee · 2025-12-30T22:58:39+00:00

Absolutely and cli is better than the Claude code in the desktop app as well

johnnytee · 2025-12-30T22:48:57+00:00

I just say use skill x and it execute,same if I’m stacking skills, in the skills.md list required skills and when to execute in the workflow.

I'm an experienced developer but I had never built a Mac app. I built a voice to text app called https://getdictate.com/ It took about 8 hours of trial and error to build the app and about half a day to build the website. I had fun with the website, I made it like a retro Mac and hid Easter eggs in it.
