    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 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.

    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.
