Miles Elliott on Static vs. Dynamic Blocks in WordPress

Choosing Dynamic Blocks (part one)

The WordPress 5.0 update included their new Gutenberg block editor.  There’s plenty of advice, opinion and tutorials out there, but this blog post from  Miles Elliott really spoke to me:

Now, I know you’re probably a perfect developer. You write things with no mistakes and get it on the first try. You foresee all use cases and you write functions that win Nobel Prizes. When people use code you’ve written, they feel an unexplained warmth from their bottom of the soul and walk away a fundamentally better person.

So true, so true, Elliott.  And I’m going to add your ideas about “going (almost) all dynamic blocks in WordPress” to my bag of tricks.  Can’t wait to get to part 2 and find out if “Dangerous Markup” is finally defeated.
