WordPress Effective Accelerationism

Build momentum for WordPress. Fewer choices by default, stronger guarantees, and parts that click together. When the right path has steps, we make them clear.

Choose fewer steps when possible. Make necessary steps obvious and safe.

Position

This is

  • Practical progress for WordPress
  • Patterns and primitives first
  • Drops when they earn it

This isn’t

  • Speed‑only posturing
  • Hype or preorder theater
  • A closed stack

Built for

  • Publishers and operators
  • Theme and plugin builders
  • Agencies shipping real sites

Pillars

Clarity

Defaults that make the next step obvious.

Reliability

Predictable upgrades and graceful failure modes.

Interoperability

Works with Core, blocks, classic, Woo, and the plugin graph.

Leverage

Compose primitives instead of bespoke piles of code.

Momentum

Small wins stacked until the graph moves.

Method

  1. 01

    Observe reality

    Study real workflows, not demo sandboxes.

  2. 02

    Reduce choices

    Make the good path the default path.

  3. 03

    Compose primitives

    Small, interoperable parts beat monoliths.

  4. 04

    Prove in production

    Ship, measure outcomes, iterate.

Outputs

Patterns

Playbooks and reference builds that shorten setup time without boxing you in.

Primitives

Small blocks, APIs, and libraries that compose cleanly with Core and other plugins.

Tools

Utilities for authoring, ops, and migrations. Opinionated, with escape hatches.

Phases

Phase 0 — Signal

now

Plant the flag. Define the floor for quality. No announcements.

Phase 1 — Patterns

when ready

Public playbooks and reference implementations that show outcomes.

Phase 2 — Drops

you’ll know

Releases across plugins, themes, and docs. Robust defaults. Clear escape hatches.

FAQ

Is this performance work?

Partly. We optimize for effectiveness: clarity, reliability, interop, and speed where it moves outcomes.

How do I join?

Ship improvements that help WordPress users succeed. Share evidence.

What’s shipping?

Patterns first, then primitives and tools. No preorders. No waitlists.

Why e/acc?

Because acceleration without direction is noise. We accelerate what proves useful.
