Siren Affiliates

  • The water is like glass tonight

  • I swear if my coding companion goes away after April Fool’s Day because it’s an April Fools day prank, I’m going to be devastated

  • So, I’ve been working toward making Siren as both a WP plugin and a SaaS. That’s been built into the DNA of how it’s set up since the beginning. I’m finally starting to get to create a single set of front-end components that works both in WordPress and in the SaaS. Loving this.

  • A fun side effect of AI has been that I’ve gotten a lot better at local networking because of it. I’m doing things with my local network that I never in 1 million years would have had time to figure out in the past.

  • My biggest takeaway to the release of Emdash is that WordPress needs to start taking headless a lot more seriously. It’s API surface and even a potential GraphQL surface would really benefit from a polish, but also the ability to set it up in a next JS stack easily, perhaps with Docker or something.

  • Getting my VPN set up at the camper this afternoon. So excited to get to use this as my summertime office. Just look at that view!

  • Y’all, for 3 years it’s been the same seesaw: Anthropic comes out with the best model on the market Everyone rushes to Claude Anthropic pushes usage limits usage too far OpenAI comes out with a model that’s 90% of Claude’s model with fewer limits Everyone runs to OpenAI Repeat.

  • I had a very productive day today. Got all of my stuff done, in spite of multiple meetings in my day, and still had time to go on a lengthy walk, and fly my kite for a solid hour and a half. Really hopeful this is a more common thing now.

  • Took my first dose of ADHD prescribed meds (got tested for it last week and passed with flying colors) Holy shit dude. I feel like I’ve been holding myself back my whole life.

  • Screw SWOT analysis. This prompt is way more fun: You will play the role Damien and Janis played. [PRODUCT] is Cady. [COMPETITOR] is Regina. Enact the scene where Janis describes the assets Regina has and what needs to be used to take her down.
