@rauchg @cramforce it is a really bad time to be a CMS

YES-CODE

An entire category of software, "no-code", was built under the presumption that code is expensive, difficult, and scarce.

Coding agents have forever changed the equation. Code is now cheap, easy, and abundant.

I remember @cramforce being asked by an analyst long ago: "soo, is @vercel like a no-code platform?" Without hesitation he goes "no, it's the absolute opposite. It's a yes-code platform." 😁

A key thing we set out to do was to be uncompromising in quality and sophistication of the things you could host. No-code solutions took shortcuts and set hard ceilings, typically on performance and sophistication.

Our mission is to create the easiest cloud for agents that you never graduate from.
