#236 – Brian Coords on WordPress as the Source of Truth
Wednesday, 7 October, 2026
Today, I'm joined by Brian Coords from Automattic, and the podcast is focused upon the intersection of WordPress block themes, AI, and agency workflows, using the concept that "the site is the source of truth." We talk about the value of leveraging WordPress' built-in systems, like patterns and content guidelines, to ensure consistency and guide AI in content and design creation. We also explored challenges around plugin functionality, WooCommerce block theme development, and the evolving role of AI in website building versus human contribution. Towards the ens we get into the tension between innovation, plugin developers’ livelihoods, and the enduring human desire for purposeful platform engagement.
