AMA: The Future of WordPress
summary
Panelists give actionable takeaways: WordPress powers roughly a quarter of the web and its REST API already runs native Android/iOS apps, letting content teams push data without custom backends. Performance jump to PHP 7 is ~2x faster than 5.6, so upgrade but use staging before upgrading; JIRA, ZenHub and Asana are recommended project tools. AMP opens content in a Google shell but can be detached by breaking the AMP–canonical link (not generally advised). Bangladesh and Japan report very high local WordPress adoption.
