Default EmDash size: 483Mb. Default WordPress size: 70Mb. That's progress?

I dunno, with the constant firehose of debate and disdain for AI this is a joke I'm too burned out about to feel like laughing at.

"solve security" - that's an April Fools joke if I ever heard one.

It's great that they are recreating much of the fundamental software stack using LLMs. But if you're going to 'vibeslop,' at least do it in a language other than JavaScript.

I struggle to understand why anyone would want to generate code in TypeScript - unless what you're building truly can't be done in Go, Rust, or Kotlin; anything but JS.

I’m not sure how much of an improvement it really is to rewrite something from PHP to TypeScript while claiming security benefits.

Spiritually hollow; at this point, it reads more like marketing material than anything of genuine substance.

I can't believe as developers we were worried about AI training on licensed code. It turns out it didn't matter at all. You can just point an LLM at some source code and you're off scot-free.

Will you look at it. Another Wordpress “killer”. Wordpress has that market share because it can be easily installed in a wide variety of servers and because of its plugin ecosystem of dozens of thousands of plugins and huge flexibility/customizability. Wordpress is one of the most flexible pieces of software out there and none of the competition seem to get why Wordpress is so popular.

So this product has nothing to do with wordpress, it's just another CMS that mentioned WP only bcz they created a migration plugin that won't work on 90% of existing wp sites and won't work on 100% of woocommerce sites.

This is no successor, it's not even in the same universe. - vendor lock-in, losing gpl, losing access to plugins source code, loosing ownership.

Its kind of annoying that CF would use an LLM to build something and try to pass it off as something built from "the ground up". Its just copying the library that was already build and passing it off as their own.

The Deploy to Cloudflare button in the article is not working for me.

It takes me to the expected Cloudflare dashboard page, with title “Clone a repository” and with the GitHub repository URL field filled with https://github.com/emdash-cms/templates/tree/main/blog-cloud... but when I click Continue, the Continue button changes to “…” and animates indicating it’s thinking, but then nothing happens. No error messages shown, nothing. The Continue button switches back to having the Continue text and being clickable.

I tried deleting a couple of old applications I had in the Workers & Pages page of the Cloudflare dashboard thinking that maybe I had exhausted the number of such applications I can have on a free Cloudflare account. The number of applications I have is now down to 7, after deleting a couple of old ones. Still, attempting to deploy EmDash to my Cloudflare account fails in the same way as before without any error messages shown.

I was using Safari on iOS 18.7.1. I will try on a desktop browser, in case the problem is only happening in Safari on iOS.
