– The importance of writing tests to catch security, performance, and UX issues early
– The challenge of reaching and supporting developers across such a massive plugin ecosystem
– His hackathon project connecting WP-CLI with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI-powered cross-platform workflows
