Jumping into Bricks and Advanced Themer. I like what I see but I wish I knew where to start

Listening to an album from start to finish is such a missed joy. Listening to Kerosene Hat. Just finished Goldfinger.

What's your favorite LLM for explanations and narrative style results? Gemini is kicking butt and taking names. Ran the same prompt thru 5 LLMs. Only Gemini and Claude found some key nuances, and Gemini was more consistent at it.

I wonder how many WordPress sites were built with a builder just so the owner can make edits, but the owner never does.

I'm quick to push back on AI/LLM coding. But it's the best rubber ducky ever.

Someone said that Bricks Builder is "worth its weight in gold". While I'm sure it was meant as a compliment...

Bricks builder: does anyone know if there's a simple way to modify the theme styler? I want to add default classes to the elements.

I wonder if anyone expected Gutenberg to be so divisive.

I'm hearing a rumor that the #Laravel community is the happiest developer community.

A teacher motivates students by using AI-generated images of their future selves based on their ambitions x.com/visualfeastwan…

Just so y'all know, every time you push code, you appear live on @GitHub's real-time events board at their HQ

So I was trying to figure out how Automattic knows the WP Engine websites. If you actually look at the payload to the WordPress.org API to get the list of plugins, WordPress is adding the URL on the user-agent. There's absolutely no technical reason to do this, it's…

Composer is awesome. WPackagist is awesome. We love both here at @wpengine. So happy to say that the real, genuine, incredible, secure, valuable, #WordPress changing plugin, @wp_acf, can now be installed via Composer. You could do PRO before but now both free and PRO are…
