@clifgriffin Donald Hoffman has done some fascinating research on the question of whether evolution favors the perception of reality as it truly is (tl;dr he thinks it doesn’t) which I’ve found to be pretty interesting/persuasive in this area! youtu.be/oYp5XuGYqqY?si…

This argument doesn’t require genius to intuit. If you make any claim that our thinking is explained by the selection pressure of evolutionary survival, you’ve sawed off the branch you were sitting on.

@pootlepress These kinds of product pages have been replicated using three.js + GSAP (see: github.com/Starklord17/Th…) both of which you can use in WordPress via wordpress.org/plugins/threew… and gsap.com/resources/Word… So it would still take tons of custom code but possible!

Ok team...first person who can tell me how to do this in WordPress wins a big prize 🏆 (well, lots of kudos 👏)

The primary reason I decided to learn Next.js for my personal site was to play with the seamless page transitions you can see here when I click my blogpost. Curious if there’s a good solution for this in WordPress yet, I haven’t really been able to find anything

I have to come up with a Business Name to publish my WooCommerce plugins under. Welcoming any advice! Seems like vague yet evocative is the way to go? What do you think of “Platonic”

My dilemma w/ AI tools is I enjoy problem-solving, learning, losing myself in a flow state. It’s how I freely choose to spend much of my time. Offering to take these pleasures of my plate feels a little like offering to go to my friends’ houses and beat them at board games for me

Will also make for a great UI playground (current UI is trash but proudly hand-made!) For instance, experimenting here with color-coded heartbeat monitor style mini-graph to display current wpm instead of the actual live numbers which I found too distracting. Fun to play with!

I really just wanted something I could do each morning to warm my fingers up and improve my typing that was also productive/meaningful. Nicomachean Ethics has natural section breaks built-in and is severely underrated imo so it felt like the perfect choice!
English
I made a tool that helps you increase your typing speed while also bettering your soul! Track your average wpm and accuracy as you absorb one of the most important books of all time in digestible, daily chunks. Check it out here: tarekzaher.com/experiences/ar…

@troychaplin Patterns could be epic, I think some people just want a plug and play solution where they only have to click a few buttons out of the box for it to work, but I personally prefer ability to fully customize and control so I’m a fan of that approach
English
@tarekdevelops Hmm, not sure about that. I’d not want to have anything that would require work to remove stuff, and I want to keep this super clean.
Patterns could work here, that’d be a better idea.

I struggled to find a good name for this one, but happy to say that my new, very simplistic maintenance mode plugin is now officially available!

@troychaplin Count me in when the time comes, excited to see what you built!

Had a ton of fun solo building my submission. Looking forward to round 2 in February!
Gonna have to find someone(s) to collaborate with next time, I do more than enough solo work.
Who's game?

@obijuandev Really appreciate you taking the time to read through, great to meet you my friend!

Also need to revamp the way the flowers spawn and about a dozen other things, but it's my weekend and I get to do what I want!
English
Preview of what I've been working on this weekend for @PluginJam_WP's "Grow" blockathon! A collaborative WordPress flower garden where visitors can plant messages that grow into beautiful flowers. Could be cool for memorial/wedding sites or a more fun comment section on blogs.

It’s a small win but was so happy to have my silly cloud p5.js sketch chosen for one of the @thecodingtrain showcases! Been obsessed with this textbook/course recently, Daniel couldn’t be a better or more inspiring teacher. editor.p5js.org/Tarek-Zaher/sk…

As of today I’m working at GoDaddy specializing in helping customers with their WordPress/WooCommerce issues and more recently have begun developing my own WooCommerce plugins! I’m excited to share what I’ve been working on and hopefully meet/learn from others along the way 🙂

Over the years I’ve dipped my toe into dozens of languages, frameworks and projects, but I’ve mostly gravitated (as you can probably expect given my “coding is an artistic medium” perspective) towards frontend stuff like React, three.js, GSAP, etc.
