Agentic coding is the future of software development for everything except for some hobby & passion projects. Agents love python and node because there is so much training data out there. But how does a new vibe coder deploy the python or node js code? Locked in to a commercial provider with no real way to get out.

At least half of the Internet runs PHP. PHP hosting providers and mom & pop businesses support WordPress hosting setups. They are cheap, reliable and well known.

So why not build your software with your agent right where is will be running the same way we do with WordPress and other CMS?

Are all off the millions of servers configured for WordPress hosting setups all going to be configured to running Django and Node over the next 5 years?

WordPress won the Internet because it was open, well known and easy to setup and configure. Is there any reason we cant build the same thing but for Agents first?
