    This old pupper sure does love going to the campground with me ❤️. She loves going to the dog park and playing fetch. Good for about 3 throws these days but by god she gives it her all for those throws.

    Is anyone actually leveraging and consuming the WordPress Abilities API? If so, how? I want to understand the benefits for consumers before I go implementing something for it into Siren (Please boost for reach)

    The plugin sales data is real, but it’s being read as a market-death signal when it’s something else. Here’s the bet I’m making on what’s actually happening.

    Product discovery is moving into Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. For a founder, an MCP server isn’t an integration anymore. It’s the first touchpoint.

    The number of microservices I’ve spun up this year using PHPNomad is something to behold.

    I’ve really gotten into a groove with that system, and it’s just so, SO nice to have every single thing I build and manage using the exact same framework. It’s better to be consistent than great, and my biggest bottleneck right now is reviewing code. I can review and identify code smells so much faster with PHPNomad because I know just from a glance when something isn’t built using the patterns it should be built using.

    Plus the CLI I buit for it scaffolds most of the code when we’re building greenfield projects, and that saves a ton of tokens when building.

    I love it.

    At the campground today. Jazz music, lake view, ludicrously uncomfortable desk. Can’t lose.

    PHPnomad just got a CLI, and giving AI access to it has reduced my token usage CONSIDERABLY. Some actions are reduced by a factor of nearly 70!

    Listen. You have ai access now. You officially have no reason to have a n insecure local network. You literally have an expert on the topic in your house, just one request away from telling you every problem with your local network security.
