    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.

    I call this piece “Rage”

    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.

    My youngest has discovered the capabilities of a 3D printer. So we’re printing fun things like articulating dragons, 3-headed snails, and Medusa figures. All while learning about 3D printers ❤️

    The most powerful AI prompt I have in my arsenal:

    “I want you to interview me, asking one question at a time about {thing}. I have the information about {thing}in my head, but need your help extracting and organizing it.”

    Then, after all questions are asked, I ask Chat to put it into a report.

    It’s such a powerful way to get info out of your head, and you can do it with voice chat while walking.
