    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.

    My biggest takeaway to the release of Emdash is that WordPress needs to start taking headless a lot more seriously. It’s API surface and even a potential GraphQL surface would really benefit from a polish, but also the ability to set it up in a next JS stack easily, perhaps with Docker or something.

    Y’all, for 3 years it’s been the same seesaw:

    Anthropic comes out with the best model on the market

    Everyone rushes to Claude

    Anthropic pushes usage limits usage too far

    OpenAI comes out with a model that’s 90% of Claude’s model with fewer limits

    Everyone runs to OpenAI

    Repeat.

    Claude, please shift the tasks you just added to Todoist over by one day.

    Claude:

    “Devised straightforward temporal adjustment strategy”

    Whoa, easy there. We’re shifting dates, not adjusting our time machine.

    “No em dashes” is not the right way to put it. “Structure your sentences so they don’t require em-dashes” yields a much better result. I find that the problem isn’t the em-dashes as much as the overly complex sentence structures.

    Honestly Claude? Same.

    Well, it took about three months, but I finally feel like I can walk away from my computer at 5 o’clock again. AI transforming my entire workflow was very disruptive to my Q1.

    “Okay Claude, now rebuild the entire application to use GraphQL instead”. 😬

    If you’re not using AI to write themed sea shanties for your nautical-themed company nomenclature, are you even a developer? That’s what the GitHub release box is for, right?

  • Alex Standiford

    Boy, it won’t be long before we’re talking about the fact that nobody’s ever taking breaks because AI is always in their pocket. I can already see the backlash coming. Take breaks y’all.
