Custom blocks in themes will not pass #WordPress theme review, but you can still customize core blocks! You can do a lot with a className.
But if you're building a plugin, you have Justin's permission to go wild, use custom attributes even.

The Core Fields API isn't just for #PHP, it could be used to interface with #React and the #BlockEditor to automatically create fields & validation.
#WordPress #Gutenberg
The Fields API is agnostic to the front end markup. This is critical during a time of profound change in the #WordPress admin UI experience. It's time for a refactor.
The Core Fields API project is looking for people to get involved, at minimum backing the idea as suitable for core.

Blackbird designer @jackwatson05 still believes there's room for designers even if clients use #AI to generate images. Designers should treat these like any other sketch, not like problems to fix. Context matters, particularly for brands.

Folks seem keen to hype #AI as a wholesale solution to a number of problems, but we're not so sure. Machine learning is not thinking and will never have the full context of a problem unless you explicitly tell it. Companies will continue to turn to a #WordPress #agency or #freelancer for human expertise, regardless of AI involvement.

🤖 Finally, you can automate automating yourself out of a job!
Or... maybe it's more nuanced than that.
If you use #AI in your work, have you been disappointed by certain products but successful with others? How has your job been affected?

The vision for blocks in #WordPress was to be a common language of interoperable modules that work with any theme. Do they live up to that vision?

There is a disconnect between how #WordPress is done for low-traffic sites vs high-traffic #enterprise. Where do you draw the line between doing custom work and installing a plugin?

Fränk made a great analogy for modern #WebDesign as sticking to a specific scale in blues music. Paradigm shifts in #WordPress and the rest of the web towards ease of customization call for greater collaboration between developers and designers.
The designers and developers collaborate heavily at Blackbird Digital, but we're also a very small team. Does your agency process support this kind of collaboration, or is there a siloed process with devs at the end of the line responsible for decisions they had no part in?

#WordPress has a design system, but it's mostly focused on the block/site editor. What is preventing you from using WordPress components in your plugin or theme settings?
