P.S. I love WordPress and have worked with it every day since 2012. Trends never made me switch to JS or PHP
frameworks: React came into WordPress core on its own, and anything else I can work with and integrate into
WordPress. AI engineering speeds up the process a lot, but the details and specifics of each area are still what
make a project succeed.
