If MCP has permission to do something then the API has get involved you can end up two session, one for MCP and one for REST. If you use an MCP it may use the same code point REST uses, but it has one permission session. This saves overhead of ram and state on your servers.
I'd suggest sharing a github repo and getting a few contributors to this. Looks like it can solve some pretty big issues for the page editor feeling overwhelming for so many user's.

The creator of Linux just publicly called out the AI hype. Word for word.
Linus Torvalds took the stage at Open Source Summit 2026 and said this:
"When I see people saying 99% of our code is written by AI, I literally get angry. Because those same people — I can pretty much guarantee — 100% of their code is written by compilers. But they never say that."
He is not anti AI. The Linux kernel saw a 20% jump in submissions this release because of AI tools. He uses it. He gets it.
His point is something most people are too afraid to say.
AI is a productivity tool exactly like compilers were. Compilers boosted programming by 1000x. AI adds another 10x on top. Enormous. But nobody says "the compiler wrote my code." So why are we saying AI wrote it?
He also flagged something nobody is talking about.
AI is flooding small open source projects with drive-by bug reports. Someone runs a prompt, files a report and disappears when asked for a patch. Maintainers with one or two people are drowning trying to keep up.
"Sometimes AI reports a bug and when you ask for more information the person has done that drive-by and does not even answer your question. That is the real burnout issue."
And his final warning was the sharpest of all.
"People who do not understand the complexity of systems will prompt systems and write processes that will fail."
The AI hype crowd is very loud right now.
Linus has been building real systems for 35 years. When he talks, engineers listen.

Short array and short ternary would be good but the short open tag syntax is not going to save any time for me. I don't think it makes anything easier to read.
That is a great point and something I have been looking at. It's been 5 years since I did a Laravel App and recently I have an app I am considering building with Laravel. So this is the exact question I have been trying to answer. Which way should I build it and why. – at Parkes, New South Wales

The chart says 8000k, which means 8000000. The k is used on the vertical axis to reduce space. – at Parkes, New South Wales
If you look at brand guidelines for medium to big brands they impose colour rules and combination rules to ensure consistency. If wp can do this, it would be a big step forward. I don't know how to do that. Maybe an advanced colour rules tool of some sort. – at Parkes, New South Wales
Wordcamp Sydney has began. #wcsyd it's great to get together with my fellow WordPress users and developers in the land down under. #WordPress
I would like 4 things,
1. Make SEO good without the need of a plugin.
2. custom fields should be good without needing Acf. Cpt should have an easy option for dedicated table in sql.
3. S3 storage as default for media
4. Responsive editing / blocks with a Css framework
Vitamin d, b, c and e with good water are the best things I have found. B and D make a big difference. Lower imflamation and joint pain is noticeable. I also ground. I'm 44, walk 50k steps a week and workout too. Eat clean - no sugar or alcohol. Low carb, no dairy. No packet food – at Parkes, New South Wales
Lighting. Get a key light. Camera Hacks only go so far. Key lights with temp adjustment are the answer.
So what you're saying is contributor day at wordcamp should not including documentation. Why? We are not contributing to the WordPress foundation but Matt and A8c get content for free? I guess it's the same for the learning team? That's an issue IMHO. Especially when dot com gets updated by Automattic and they don't update the content on dot org, for exactly the same thing. This blurly line should end and the foundation setup needs to mature. Certifications, paid plugin repo that uses git and paid leaning materials via dot org would be huge for WordPress. These have been needed for some time. Hopefully Matt's actions trigger a wider conversation and will allow Automattic competition to pay the foundation directly instead of Automattic. It's time to grow up. WordPress has grown and the foundation setup should change to reflect that.
I think this chart is wrong. I have contributed to docs and I'm not on the list/ diagram. How accurate is the chart? Who made it?
