Wrote about why we built @cleanbrowsing to cover everything Cisco Umbrella (OpenDNS) does without the enterprise sales process around it. Roaming agent, device hardening, mobile coverage, flat pricing. The whole stack. #DNS #CyberSecurity cleanbrowsing.org/articles/switc…

@stkjj @jeffr0 What is a dev only solution?

@jeffr0 @perezbox It's a dev only solution. Our customers that are already overwhelmed with maintaining their content won't dive into HTML. And neither will they be willing to pay for content service like they did in the 90s and early 2000s.

@perezbox and Joost teamed up to kill WordPress. I’m only kidding. How long will it take to see static sites eat into WordPress’ marketshare numbers.

@RobbyMcCullough @jeffr0 @chrislema Ha.. makes sense

@perezbox @jeffr0 @chrislema Is there a tongue in cheek emoji yet?

@RobbyMcCullough @jeffr0 @chrislema I’m curious.. what does WP do for your business critical properties? That’s unique to it… genuine curiosity…

@jeffr0 @perezbox @chrislema That said, I can't wait till I feel confident enough to point an agent at them and do all of the mundane maintenance, cleanup and optimizations that we put off for a decade because it was too tedious to be worth it.

Built a 41-page site in 5 hours. No CMS. No database. No freelancer. Just flat PHP, Bootstrap, and AI handling 90% of the implementation. The barrier used to be build time. Now it's the idea itself. #AI #WebDev #BuildInPublic #PHP perezbox.com/articles/build…

Oh dear.. I messed up now.. went on and built my own editor hahaha 😅🤣

AI is a dangerous tool for someone like me. Just build what I need and run the whole stack myself. The number of services I'm cancelling is mind boggling. A tool that keeps up with my self-diagnosed ADHD. My brain, however, files a complaint around 9pm.😂

This is cool and worth exploring.. you can ask your agent to analyze the repo and perform a gap analysis between what is being proposed and what you're already doing... pretty neat.. thanks for sharing @coreyhainesco .. if prompted right it'll give you a nice plan of action

@brandondove 🥰

@perezbox And in true Tony style I constantly lock myself out of my own servers.

Anyone else name their firewall "Tony" after @perezbox? No...? Just me...?

Sometimes the best architecture is the one with the fewest moving parts. Full write-up: perezbox.com/articles/migra…

The one caveat: design. AI can structure pages and wire up functionality, but polished visual design isn't fully there yet. It's close, and frameworks like Astro are bridging the gap well. But that last mile of visual craft is still a human problem. For now.

I migrated perezbox.com from WordPress to flat PHP in 90 minutes. No database. No frameworks. No plugins. No node_modules. No Composer. Just PHP, HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap from a CDN. Here's the play-by-play and why I did it.
