Over the weekend I discovered the flick stick + gyro controller configuration for FPS games. If you’re typically a mouse/keyboard player and want to get a LOT closer to the control you have with mouse/keyboard using a controller, give it a try.

Okay, so credit where credit’s due. Codex correctly assessed a very obscure issue deep in PHPNomad’s codebase this week with a Siren client on a specific type of host.
It correctly nailed the actual problem in 1 session, and a week later I was finally able to prove it, and get the bug fixed.
Not saying Claude couldn’t do it, but it felt like it had more…tenacity, maybe?

I often just need to spin up a quick WordPress install to test something very, very specific, and then tear it down when I’m done.
So I had AI whip up a little utility for me. It loads a fresh WP install in your /tmp directory, and has a way to quickly remove the install when you’re done (but of course if you don’t it’ll just go away because it’s in tmp.)
Nothing too flashy, and obviously built specifically for my use-case, but I figured I’d share it publicly just in case it would be useful to someone else.

An AI-enhanced workflow absolutely can multiply your work, but I’ve never been totally satisfied with a “one shot” of anything AI made when it’s actually something that I need to maintain.
So much of my flow has begun to revolve around a lot of the things Chris Lema is talking about here.

How to Choose a WooCommerce Affiliate Plugin
Most WooCommerce affiliate plugins share the same architecture. The architectural choice matters more than the plugin choice, and one option has no structural ceiling.
