I remember multiple projects giving up on rewriting it. Maybe a machine with endless patience could do it?

I've done it multiple times but no one's gonna use my off the shelf blog when there's a bagilian WordPress plugins they wanna use. But with AI you kinda sorta should just build your own blog. Doctrine with slime framework. You can even throw a WordPress plugin at the LLM and ask it to implement the same thing.

  • Yeah the consensus from everybody that spends some time on it seems to be: just don’t use it

    Please don't. There is absolutely no reason not to use the extremely simple and powerful combination of:

    * a headless CMS / static website generated, of which there are a bunch so pick the one you like the most. My go-to is Hugo but it is somewhat complex

    * a static hosting service with a generous free tier like CloudFlare Pages/Workers, Netlify, Firebase Hosting, etc.

    Your blog costs nothing, has zero attack surface and zero maintenance.
