I love this AI-generated image for PHPNomad. I made this framework last year to help me make Siren easy to scale, and to make WordPress plugin development feel more-modern, and portable.

Coding Practices, PHP Nomad, and ChatGPT with Alex Standiford
This was a really fun conversation! I don’t get to nerd out this unapologetically too often on podcasts haha

Putting together a better homepage for Siren. I need tons of fake data, so I guess it’s finally time to start putting together a generator. I’m so, so grateful for the Faker library because it makes this WAY simpler.

I Created a Free Dockerized WordPress Dev Setup For Integration Testing
I’ve really struggled over the years to find a good local WordPress setup, and I think I finally have something that I love. It’s been incredibly effective, fast, and adaptable to not only my specific plugin scenario, but with a few tweaks to the script, can be used to set up a local environment for just about any WordPress setup.

I’m Looking For Freelance Work (Resolved)
I’m gearing up for WordPress side projects this season. Seeking teams managing complex WP sites needing tech help. I have experience in technical site audits, custom RESTful integrations, and plugin feature work. Check the post for more information, links to relevant case studies, and how to get in-touch.

I Built an Indexing Platform For an External News Aggregation API
This was a fun, and challenging project that made extensive use of Underpin. It felt good to utilize the library in this context, and it was exciting to see it reliably work in-action.

This is a big deal for headless WordPress. I’m already using something that handles this on my site now, but something supported and maintained by a company like Automattic is significant.

I think I’d really benefit from some kind of media service that handles the photos and videos on my WordPress site. I need a more-reliable way to upload videos that auto-converts the videos, optimizes them, serves them, organizes them, and all of that fancy stuff. WordPress works, but it’s never really been a great media tool. Hmm.

I just wrote up the documentation for Underpin’s Array Helper methods and the Array Processor. I’ll probably work on the String helper methods next. But first, I’m going to get some shut-eye. So tired.

I haven’t actually used WP-env yet but it sounds promising. Anyone else using it for local WordPress development now?
