For those of you who have no choice but to use WordPress (marketing team/customer requirements), I strongly recommend you look at the roots.io stack. It allows you to bring modern PHP development practices and sanity to WP while keeping the CMS the same for end users.

Bedrock introduces the ability to manage WP core and plugins using PHPs composer package manager meaning that plugins are tracked in git.

Sage is their theme which allows you to develop templates using blade and vite.

They also have radicle/acorn bring pretty much a Laravel setup with WP bolted on.

I will mention them anytime I see WP, the team are doing great work.

Just made the call to take all my customers apps offline until this is fixed.

Can’t find any reliable information on what to do prior to the patch, seen some info that turning off session progress does not mitigate.

Anyway.. back to calling everyone

108 PRs in a week, no mandatory code review or CI.

Power to you friend!

Just make sure to do some phases of slowing down, reviewing and refactoring. The agents code so defensively and add a lot of unnecessary code that we will all have to trawl through when the bubble bursts and codex/cc subs are $2000 a month.

Pre-bending spoons Komoot was a beautiful app and community. You could operate it one handed with your brightness turned all the way down and easily get the info you needed. Now when I pull it up mid ride to route home I have to click through multiple upgrade to premium pop ups with tiny exit crosses. All good things etc etc

Aider was also some of the most amazing prior art. After switching from the early copilot (crazy to think they were first to market with this stuff?) it was an amazing TUI experience. CC won because it offered token hungry devs a fixed price for almost infinite usage in the early days with stacks of VC cash to burn.

I am trying to gain a basic understanding of this: Right now I have a 4TB DB on one large box. Is the idea that using a proxy tool like PGDog I could spin up 8 smaller boxes handling ~500GB each and then one medium box for the proxy?

Right now I have a project that has very heavy write traffic from multiple services and a web app that reads from this. We are starting to hit the point where no amount of indexing, query optimisation, caching or box upgrades is helping us. We are looking at maybe moving the bulk of the static data to clickhouse to reduce the DB size but I would love to hear if PgDog or other kind of sharding could be useful for this use case.

A lot of enterprise customers still buy windows workstations. When I worked in an IT dept, Dell XPS and Windows Surfaces were given to C levels who asked for Macs but were told they wouldn’t be supported into the windows ecosystem (exchange, office, Active Directory etc). Sadly after all these years the MDM story for macs is still trash.

Terminally breathing

I have this issue at work, I asked CC to create a very simple bun CLI tool that can be hard to create, destroy and list worktrees. The CLI seeds the .env file with a url, db for that worktree and I use Vercels open source package portless to spin up a dev server with unique ports so I get a url per worktree

I just started watching this after seeing your comment. Great recommendation, extremely interesting.

Brave browser also has the ability to disable YouTube shorts and “distracting” ui elements like related videos in their settings. Works great on desktop/ios

As a dyslexic programmer, I often think about how I would never be able to do the job I do without syntax highlighting.

I don’t really know why it works so well for me, but I think it helps me skim and pattern match syntax much more easily without spending too much time reading every single word, which is exhausting for me.

Types and autocompletion in an IDE also help me massively reduce issues with spelling and ultimately free up my brain to think about the logic rather than stressing out about every single thing I type.

Really cool that some people don’t need it, but for me, I am grateful to those who have spent the time on great themes. Solarized Dark is a favourite of mine.

Saying that, maybe a DAW experience makes what can be created more personal
