Agenda
A couple weeks ago I published an article & video detailing my attempt to build a layout with native Gutenberg blocks in the Twenty Twenty-Four theme: https://geary.co/wordpress-block-editor-first-look/
As is true with all of my critical videos, there’s an open invitation for anyone to demonstrate (1) why I’m wrong or (2) how it can be done better/differently while still adhering to best practices.
It’s no secret that I have a small army of haters who love to throw stones any chance they get. 999/1000 of these people never seem to be able to produce a single video demonstrating why I’m wrong or a better way to do things, though. In fact, 999/1000 don’t even try! It’s all insults, questioning my character (I just want money, haven’t you heard!), or blind dismissal.
When it comes to substance, they have nothing to offer.
And that proves my point to most people who are paying attention. Obviously, people who flap their lips without producing a single working alternative example shouldn’t be taken seriously.
But, FINALLY, someone stepped up to the plate and recorded a 60+ minute rebuttal to my block editor article and video!
Progress! Discussion! Debate!
The question is, did he succeed at successfully showing me where I’ve gone wrong in my analysis of the block editor and the Gutenberg project? Was he able to reproduce the specified layout in a way that adhered to the stated goals without all the frustration that I encountered in my attempt?
We’ll look at his rebuttal together and do a complete breakdown on this week’s WDD Live!
