    Bluesky + Mastodon are the last pieces of the puzzle to allow me to publish from my mobile without actually having the app on my phone. This will allow me to stay connected with the world, but still allow me to keep social as “a place” instead of an omnipresent part of my life.

    Podcast spikes on days I publish are starting to get wider. That feels like progress…!

    This is a tough week. I have 4 different projects all launching at the same time.

    The good news is I have two launches down – just two more to go!

    Been working with North Commerce a lot lately. Just going to say – it’s an awesome dev experience. SO much easier to work with.

    From a dev who is working on Siren extensions:

    “The more time I spend with Siren, the more I’m falling in love 💖”

    I love to hear these things because I put a lot of effort thinking through how to make extending Siren a good experience.

    One thing I really like about Claude is that it extracts long responses as documents. Makes it a lot easier to extract key things from the conversation.

    Dear managed WordPress companies.

    I choose you because when I have a problem, I can send a message in chat and promptly receive a human expert who can solve my problem quickly.

    I do not want an AI gatekeeper. Any step you add to slow me down hurts what I value most from you.

    Please stop.

    One of my favorite things about working with PHPNomad’s strategy-based approach has been that if I want to use a different thing to implement that strategy (eg: Guzzle instead of wp_rest_*), ChatGPT can usually slap together a workable implementation of the interface quickly.

    Then I just swap them out in the app, and everything just works.
