Silly headaches at 4:45 on Friday. Import some pages for a client. On 1 page, all the text and links are orange. WordPress adds page names as classes. The page name: Orange. I had no idea the site had color-based utility classes. I hate utility classes.

I hate utility classes. But they're pretty nice when using an LLM to write your code.

It's really aggravating to see great plugins pushing more and more features that have little to do with their core function.

I'm looking for updates on #WordPress Gutenberg and FSE. The challenge is finding a source that isn't a fanboy but isn't as anti as I am. Any suggestions?

I'm not going to point fingers. But if your productivity tool has a column named "Last Updated", it would make a lot of sense for it to track updates. It's in the name.

I don't get Scrum. It feels like a method for boomers and micromanagers who want to say they're following modern best practices... at least in the dev world. Kanban seems 1000x better.

@elliottrichmond There was a reason themes were the way they were. It's okay that non-devs can't do the things that devs can - and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

I watched my wife getting thoroughly frustrated in the #WordPress block editor yesterday. I saw what she was doing and asked if she knew what padding and margin were. “No!” she said. Hmmm… if that’s the case, why are we letting users loose in the block editor? 🤔

@RichStoneIO @pascallaliberte Interesting that you mentioned risk/reward... now I wonder if vibe coding tickles the gambling circuits of the brain

@SRHDesign @DerekAshauer @briancoords @jon_bossenger Maybe the question should be "what kind of beginner?" I think WP was better when it was for beginner devs.

@srikat But there's so much more than Git. I think the only Git-type thing I do in the command line is tagging... because I have a script.

Command line: how much of it is done because it is better/faster/stronger, and how much of it is done because it feels like being a developer? #DevLife #developers

Let me sum up my experience using AI with this Copilot gem. I asked how to disable Copilot Agents. After needing 3 tries to convince it that I meant Copilot agents, it gave me bad instructions.
