I’ve spent 2026 so far just trying to absorb everything AI to prepare myself for the transition from engineer to whatever may come next. I have no idea what that is and I’m both scared and excited for it

These hands once wrote semantic, performant and maintainable code. Now they just write 'Looks good!' and 'Let's go!' in a terminal.

I hate how Apple Music forces you to sync your local files with the cloud to be able to use both 🤦‍♂️ or am I missing a trick?

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it. Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments Freelancers/contractors: get in comments Everyone else: boosts appreciated

PhpStorm could be my new favourite editor BUT man, does it hog a lot of memory. 4GB after a full days use…

After spending the last couple of nights trying vibe coding a side project. I really don’t trust anyone who says they’ve built a fully working product with AI, without knowing how to code. The project I’m building isn’t even complex and AI is just fucking it up

WordPress folks! What's the best approach to limit a custom block to a specific post type?

It's been a minute but I need to build HTML emails by hand! Are there any frameworks/libraries that will make this less painful?

When people question why WordPress doesn't simply include responsive controls, this highlights the complexity involved

From #StateOfTheWord- responsive controls are coming + the ability to customize the breakpoints 🙏

Switched back to Copilot from Cursor this week. Copilot's autocomplete doesn't even come close

Kenny @kennytran.com · 28/11/2024
Found a solution! I appended a 'tax_query' to the WP query that runs on the /posts endpoint. Checking if the post has any terms in the taxonomy Then I can pass in the argument to the endpoint to filter posts /wp-json/wp/v2/posts?has_taxonomy_term=false
WordPress filter that modifies the /post endpoint to filter posts based on whether the posts has any terms in a taxonomy

WordPress friends! Using 'getEntityRecords', how do I exclude posts that has a custom taxonomy assigned? Been stuck on this all day!

Was expecting a better reaction from the players on the managers first game. Effort levels still suck #MUFC

These players are so bad at pressing and tackling. Casemiro without Ugarte beside him is a liability #MUFC
