Last two WP updates I did were essentially downloading the site with firefox's "save site as", running prettier on it, and setting up a basic netlify for what's now a static site. HN is quick to talk about "the right tool for the job" about WordPress, but WP also has great branding which often makes it the choice when it's _not_ the right tool.

imho the best part of WP is the dashboard stuff, so headless WP is a good choice. It's also frequently hurt by PHP's heavy push on inheritance, which can be at-odds with what is actually a very good events-based architecture in WP. Sad part is that the very good events-based architecture is so overlooked, most people who have spent time developing in WP aren't even aware it has events.
