The Content Management System Landscape with Matt Garrepy

What is the state of content management systems today? Richard chats with Matthew Garrepy of CMS Critic about his views on how the CMS market continues to evolve. Matt digs into the build-vs-buy conversation that has been going on since the web first emerged - now made more complex with the power of the large language model to generate code. The evolution toward headless CMS brings up the idea of the explosion of different places that a CMS needs to touch now - not just web pages. The landscape for CMS is only getting more complex, and the tooling reflects that!
