@MarceloRet41877 @BradGroux @AnthropicAI @claudeai @DarioAmodei @trq212 Are you actually getting access to Codex & Claude Code through Copilot Pro? Or is that BYOK ?

@sfxdotcom @BradGroux @AnthropicAI @claudeai @DarioAmodei @trq212 That's awful.

Adios, @AnthropicAI and @claudeai. Nice rug pull, @DarioAmodei...

@MarceloRet41877 @BradGroux @AnthropicAI @claudeai @DarioAmodei @trq212 They have not responded to my inquiries in 6 weeks in their support. I've opened multiple tickets

@BradGroux @AnthropicAI @claudeai @DarioAmodei I reported this earlier and they haven't even respond to me or anyone else involved. It's like they don't care about the users. Even if you tag them they don't get back to you. @trq212 @claudeai @AnthropicAI

Why on earth would you code a dashboard and a TinyMCE editor instead of just using WordPress? That's a terrible example, lol. It would literally take you 500x more time than doing a 1-click install. If you can actually CODE a static site, then there are zero practical use-cases to using a static site for a client in 2026. Zero.

Joost is right. And this is not a pure WordPress debate you're looking for. I see a lot of "customer needs" debate around it. You can code a dashboard with TinyMCE for customers, if they are actively using blog, etc. Sync with GitHub, sell as a service. That's it. I'm not a coder and many of you know better solutions. I don't even tell Webflow, Framer, etc. They are also giants. There is always a pie for everyone. WordPress isn't dying but it needs much more development and flexible solutions in the core. I'm using WordPress since the version 2.6. I made money with building WordPress (Envato, Themeforest, etc) I left WordPress beginning of this year. I don't want to set up a custom CDN for performance, I don't want to check compatibility for every version of core with the installed 20+ plugins. Maybe I return WP in the future, but not now. I was tired of disconnections, UI bugs in the editor, Elementor's 3000+ of lines class names (yes, they had an update for this) For my case, sometimes it's okay to make a break.

@postcrabcore @sfxdotcom Now has 1 vote, @ 540 votes.

Who would you rather have on the 53?

@godlikemike25 @postcrabcore legend!

@sfxdotcom @postcrabcore I changed that. Lol

@JefePil From what I'm reading, it's a one year deal with a whole bunch of cap manipulation nonsense to make it 3. But rather than tell the world that the Chiefs are very obvious skirting the system, NFL has to report it as a 3-year deal, lol

He got that much football left?

Legitimate question: Does Graceland close/go bankrupt after the current boomer generation dies off? I don't know that younger generations have nearly the same affinity for Elvis

@iamjondraper to be fair, i don't actually hate it. a little different, a little unique didnt even realize it was lio rush (or that he was still wrestling) - so it adds a layer to his character better than a lot of other stuff out there if nothing else, kudos for doing something different

Imagine making this company your identity on social media when it produces stuff like this?

This is partially true but the "benefits" are probably a bit overstated. The more important impact has to do with flicker. The market is flooded with cheap, crappy bulbs that people buy up and slap everywhere. These end up causing headaches, eye strain and fatigue over periods that are hard to escape. You'll ultimately disrupt your circadian rhythm, impacting both sleep and stressing your nervous system.

Dr. Andrew Huberman just confirmed a “wild conspiracy theory” about incandescent lights and LED bulbs. The long wavelengths found in incandescents increase your metabolism and “charge your mitochondria.” Conversely, the LED bulbs that most of you have in your house are “causing disruptions in mitochondrial function.” DR. ANDREW HUBERMAN: “Your mitochondria function better, you increase ATP production, your metabolism increases in the presence of red light, long wavelength light to the skin.” “Shine long wavelength light on somebody, watch blood glucose levels in a blood glucose test, and it’s blunted.” “Now, the LED lights that are commonly used now… that short wavelength light, in the absence of long wavelength light, has been shown to damage the mitochondria.” “This used to be considered crazy. This was like chemtrail crazy, right?” “But now we’re starting to see from animal studies and human studies, from Glenn Jeffreys and others, that people’s vision gets better when they get in front of an incandescent bulb once a day.” “If they get sunlight, which also has long-wavelength light, your vision improves because of improvements in mitochondria.” The Biden administration quietly pushed incandescents out of the market through aggressive energy regulations. But you can still find them online today if you look hard enough. If that health insight stood out to you, there’s a lot more where that came from.

This is one of the most important questions a business should be asking about AI. Who is monitoring usage? I'm consistently seeing folks trying to implement LLM APIs into literally everything (especially where a simple automation would work fine) - only to get slaughtered by usage costs. End up spending way more than it would have cost to have had someone just do the same task manually.

The "cheating" argument always makes me laugh. There's not one single professional athlete or actor who doesn't "cheat". One hundred percent of them are using some sort of performance enhancers. They aren't elite because they eat chicken and go to the gym a lot. And any of them that tell you differently are lying. So why should the average person, who doesn't have millions to spend on self care, be any different? If it's the difference between being unhealthy and suffering from medical illness or "cheating" to get to a healthy weight -- why WOULDN'T you cheat? What's the benefit of starving yourself on a fad diet or spending 20 hours a week on a treadmill so you can lose 1/2 lb., only for it to come back the next time you smell a piece of chocolate? "Cheat" away!

Retatrutide + Testosterone Sounds like a stack for guys who want to cheat their way to a good body. If it's cheating, so what? Would you prefer the alternative - losing? Visceral fat accumulates. Testosterone declines. Metabolic syndrome. Less muscle. More fatigue. Shitty recovery. I can go on... Fuck "fair" if that's the alternative. In reality, you're gaining back health - cheating or not. Reta + Testosterone are metabolically protective when dosed properly and monitored correctly. Retatrutide - suppresses appetite and drives fat loss - improves insulin sensitivity - reduces triglycerides - lowers inflammation - restores metabolic flexibility Testosterone - improves insulin sensitivity - supports cardiovascular health when properly dosed - prevents the metabolic decline that comes with age - and much more... (and there are ways to preserve your testicular function so don't come at me with that) Call it cheating if you want. But the alternative isn't noble. It's a slower decline with a cleaner reputation (when no one really cares about you anyway).

Building a website for a client that doesn't at least give them the *option* for autonomy is bad business practice, in my opinion. In fact, allowing clients to try and edit their own site becomes the easiest upsell for Managed Services. Even the most basic "brochure" site should eventually require some degree of scale. A client shouldn't have to purchase a website and then pay for it a second time because they now want to start adding or editing content.

“But clients can’t edit it” If your client must edit their site regularly then that isn’t the use case he’s talking about. I built plenty of brochure client sites that have not been touched in years by anyone, not even me. They could easily have been built static (but I wanted to use a contact form plugin to avoid that headache so they were built with WP). “What if they grow? You’d have to redo it all” Ya, that’s normal. For a business growing to the point where their brochure site now needs to be highly dynamic you’re likely redesigning from scratch anyway. “Clients aren’t going to want to push a markdown file to GitHub” The client isn’t ever going to see a markdown file or even know GitHub is being used in a chat interface. They will just say “use this new photo of Janice in accounting and update her bio to say she now has 17 cats instead of 15” and next thing they know the site is updated properly. I’m really not understanding the pushback on this article - it’s been known for an incredibly long time that WP can be overkill for many sites. I avoided static at times because it was a little annoying to edit multiple pages with the same change even on that rare occasion. Now with AI, that hurdle is removed. My upcoming side project app site is Astro - perfect use case. It’s 4 pages, docs, and likely a rarely updated blog. Incredibly easy for me to prompt updates to it - AI even does the deployment for me and I never see a command line.

@chris_xcom @MATTHARDYBRAND Basically still pointless as nobody loses any money. They just get their pay delayed and are back-paid after the "shutdown"

@MATTHARDYBRAND Its been a virtue signal during every shutdown, but Congress will never pass a law to not pay themselves. A shut down should absolutely, automatically include Rep/Senator pay for the duration of the shutdown.

If TSA federal employees (who are extremely important to everyday Americans & their travel, time & safety) aren’t going to be paid but are still being asked to work, so should the federal governing bodies who makes those decisions. That’s fair, right?

Ever wondered if secret tunnels really exist underground? 🚇 I was driving when I heard about Winston Salem’s hidden tunnels on NPR—seriously, I almost had to stop! Drop a 💥 if you love discovering local mysteries that sound almost too crazy to be true. So, I got curious—are there tunnels lurking beneath our feet, or is it just another urban legend? Turns out, sometimes the stories are more fascinating than fiction. It's a reminder that even in our everyday lives, there's so much we don't know—yet. What local myth has intrigued you lately?

I disagree with AOC on virtually everything. But she nails this. It's wild how major league sports have embraced and perpetuated gambling. Going to make for a ton of great documentaries in 15 years when all of the stories are told about the games they've been fixing, too.

I think there are a few factors at play here. 1️⃣ For one - expectations. The "power" of LLMs is completely overstated & too many "influencers" and faking posts about all the things they are allegedly building in record time. When someone dips their toes in for the first time after hearing all that, it's underwhelming. 2️⃣ Stubbornness. The better the programmer, the more resistant they'll be to change. We've all been there; we all do it. We understate the effectiveness of something because there's beauty and art in the craft that we've perfected. To suggest some shmoe can come in and build something functional, quickly, seems outrageous. ⏩ I think the truth of it lays somewhere in between. The use of LLMs in my agency's workflow has allowed us to expedite the speed of projects fairly dramatically. However, it's only effective when you know how to prompt it. Lay out specific guidelines, give it specific direction on what to look for, and be specific with each request. If you feed instructions to the LLM like you're *supposed to be* doing for projects in the first place, it's very powerful. If you expect it to invent something brand new by typing in a few words - you're going to get junk. I think it's no different than any other new tool. Understand the foundation of what you're doing and you now have a tool to help you do that faster.

Another one. There’s such a divide. How can some say it’s magic and others say it’s barely moving the needle? I think it’s because the ones saying it’s magic have no idea what they’re looking at.
