No, Mary Hubbard, it's not a stratregic focus.

It's a huge waste of energy and resources.

With two of the four team members from Google?

Every time I want to use PHP's in_array() function, I have to check the docs, because getting the $needle and $haystack positioning right is apparently as difficult for me as figuring out which end of a USB stick is up.

Have been thinking about #webdev and how much I hate Google and #WordPress .

I've put together a "CMS" that is basically a couple template files that will use server side includes, and some grep/sed aliases for editing them.

I skipped most of the history of web development from about 1999 to 2022 ... can anyone wise in the ways of #http and #nginx tell me if there are any pressing security or other reasons I should not take this approach nowadays?

At work when I get to use "OMGWTFBBQ" or "They are using version x.DINOSAUR" like I do with #WordPress I give myself a gold star.

*Drinks coffee*

Yes. Yes, I do. #AllTheCoffee

Today is the 22nd anniversary of the first version of #WordPress (0.7)

I’ve been using and developing for almost 20 of those years. No regrets. Thanks to all who contributed (especially those that supported WordCamp Miami).

Thanks @mikelittle @photomatt

It’s WordPress’ 22nd birthday!

On May 27, 2003, a small project to simplify publishing turned into a global movement for the open web. Today, WordPress powers over 43% of the internet—and none of it would be possible without you.

Thank you for being part of this story.

WordPress needs documentation about accessibility, help me work on it - Rian Rietveld https://rianrietveld.com/2025/05/19/wp-accessibility-docs/ #Wordpress #Accessibility #A11y

#Claude4 from #Anthropic is super impressive (it's only five days old)

Here is my #vibecoding result.
This literally took about 1 hour from inception to looking like this.
ALL OF IT IS VIBE CODE!

I have never written a #Wordpress plugin in my life before (arguably I still have not, but for giving instructions to #AI).

Use case:
I needed to track down why some of my online Wordpress/WooCommerce store orders were failing. Sure there are logfiles. Sure there are plugins that most likely already do some or maybe all of what I need to do. But I needed to trawl my buggy as hell Debug.log (14MB of data per day, mostly trash from other plugins I can't drop).

In the 1-1.5 hours I "wrote" this.
I would have spent at least if not double that installing and evaluating existing plugins.

It was quite basic in the way it looked, after all it just picks up specific lines from the log)
All I did to get it looking like that was saying "Bling it up" and gave 1 or two directives.

Is it fit for purpose? F**K yes!
Is it super impressive? F**k yes!
Is it bug free? LOL, No.
Is it secure? No less secure than some randos plugin-code.

I did code for a living when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, this may not work for anyone.

But if you are a #developer and you eschew, as some say "Random words generators". I respect your principles you oldey, timely person you. /respect

To every one else who opinionated just how bad AI #programming is
I have this to say...
GIT GOOD!
