After many great years in WordPress developer relations, I’ve moved over to product marketing at @wordpress.com. Still working on tools like Studio and Telex, just from a different angle.
Wrote a bit about the shift — and the new Blueprints feature in Studio 1.6.0.

This is for anyone who's built a WordPress block theme and struggled with an incredibly long theme.json file.
Just get AI to write you a solution. I should have done this months ago 😅

Stop struggling with cumbersome theme.json files
The theme.json file in a WordPress block theme is often hundreds of lines long and cumbersome to manage. Instead, use AI to simplify things.

I set a little challenge for myself. Build a WordPress plugin that adds a style variation switcher to the front end of a site using only AI prompts.
After about an hour of prompting, I'm quite pleased with the results. The demo uses the Twenty Twenty-Five theme.
