My clients and colleagues are bragging about "headless web sites", by which they mean "sites built without WordPress (and kin)", by which they mean "sites built entirely using the English language via AI"

In that sense, the author might be implying that "web framework" may soon be a thing relegated to history

Wait, is that what headless means now in the agency world!? I remember headless meaning the CMS wasn't the software serving the initial request, it just provided an API that some HTML/CSS/JS on S3 or something would consume.

Yes apparently so: my customer is a very intelligent research director at a well known company. He was very excited to tell me about going "headless", and I was very confused for a solid 5 minutes before figuring it out. He told me that this was the term his vendors were using.
