AI as a WordPress Fundamental

WordPress Fundamentals

Imagine WordPress without a database.

Not changing the kind of database. No database at all. WordPress without the ability to persist data. One could use the filesystem. But how would things like meta work? Some particularly clever minds might take this as a challenge and think of something, but WordPress would be fundamentally different.

The funny thing about this mental experiment is that your average WordPress user doesn’t know what a database is, much less the fundamental role it plays within WordPress. It’s taken for granted. Of course posts save, comments can be made, and settings are stored.
