In WordPress, you can go from valued community member to persona non grata overnight. Not for sabotage. For suggesting the project should be led differently. I wrote about what that does to an ecosystem: coenjacobs.com/blog/fear-voic…

We want to add support for Claude via the Agent SDK so you can bring your subscriptions. We have a PR with the changes ready. We just don't know if we're allowed to ship it. The moment we get a 👍 from @trq212, @bcherny or @DarioAmodei, we will get this shipped.

I don’t get it. So it’s wrong to connect OpenClaw with Claude Max directly. So what’s stopping me from having OpenClaw (powered by Codex) from operating claude directly from the CLI? Surely Anthropic can’t ban the use of a script/person/ai from running the Claude binary.

What happens when everything resets? Will creating things be flattened to blueprints and instructions for autonomous systems to build and defend? There is always something to do. In a world of digital abundance step out into the unknown. Find the next problem. Help someone.

@jason_coleman My management CLI for Anchor Hosting has been a frankenstein of Go, bash and embedded WordPress to reuse my PHP code. Well I just had Claude Code rewrite it all in Go yesterday. Still testing everything but this is a massive performance gain.

Early on my agent said, "let's build the dashboard in Go. I've been meaning to learn that." 😂

@ezsmith397 @harvest Rebuild with Claude Code. You got plenty of time. 😆

@harvest what in the world are y'all on over there?

"Love" it when a company gets acquired and starts gouging their existing customers. Just logged into Harvest, the app I've used for years to track time to retainers and projects for my small agency. See a notice up top saying I'll be moved to Enterprise at my next billing cycle... Click in and see FREAKING $1900/mo. WTH. I pay $12/mo currently. In what world would I just be cool with my monthly cost for a relatively simple app (with how I use it), INCREASING over $1800 per month.

Last week I made a CMS?! I have so many more questions then answers. The world is changing. For now meet the Minnow Framework. Age, 7 days old. anchor.host/the-minnow-fra…

@ezsmith397 You can actually deactivate the theme and Minnow will just serve a bundled dark theme.

@ezsmith397 I have a post scheduled for tomorrow AM: anchor.host/subscribe/. Some part of the framework are more together then others. Theming I'm not 100% how I want to handle. Currently themes/plugins are YAML with UI and behavior callable from there.

The first Minnow site is now online: minn.xyz. Only makes sense that Minnow's own site would be powered by this experimental CMS. Also was able to deploy my local Minnow site to production from Minnow's CLI and API with application passwords.

@jason_coleman Will be posting here: anchor.host/subscribe/ on Monday morning. Hopefully by then I'll put up new code repo and landing page over on minn.xyz.

@austinginder How do I subscribe? I don't read email anyway. I'm having my agent look at the transmuter repo to explain what the code is doing for me. You're being so vague about it here and on the website. LOL ;)

I need to stop 😆. Hit my Claude Code max and it resets on Monday morning. So while I wait I’m writing a recap from this past week about the Minnow Framework. Keep an eye on your inbox. This week was wild.

@twigpress I’m working on a write up from this past week. I think I accidentally created a standalone CMS and it feels really good.

@austinginder I like how we can throw AI at our crazy ideas and it'll kinda run with it 🤣

Crazy idea but I'm exploring if AI can flatten WordPress plugins to a single blueprint YAML file. Than using only that blueprint generate UI and functionality within my Minnow framework (Vue and PHP files). This should not be working... however it sorta is?!?

@mgaak1dev @natmiletic @CSDevAr @realniendoo @withgosha @iansvo @josewebdesigner cove.run

WordPress Question #6 😀 Do you guys build WordPress websites in a local environment? If so, what tool do you use? @natmiletic @CSDevAr @realniendoo @withgosha @iansvo @josewebdesigner People who aren't tagged please feel free to comment.

@rizaardiyanto Haven’t tried it yet but I’m pretty sure you can just tell Claude Code to setup Cove from cove.run and then have it spin up sites for you.

COVE! COVE! COVE! If you use AI daily to develop WordPress plugins or themes, try Cove. You won't regret it. cove.run

Best $100 I spent last week was on Claude Code. Two weeks in and I've started to lose sleep. I get it now. Anything is possible. I starting putting my unused usage at Minnow, my crazy fork ideas. That was a bad idea. It sorta just took a whole life of it's own. 😅

The new daily grind in the current running order. claude (until max usage hit - Opus 4.5) amp (daily free - $10 Opus 4.5) Open AI Codex (daily free - GPT 5.2-Codex)

@dustinhyle Because `opencode web` is so good. It spawns a localhost web server for UI with full git like view of what's changing and full history of past sessions. Coding is now chatting with the bots.

@austinginder Why OpenCode over Claude Code?

A rapid site revamp by talking with Opus 4.5 via OpenCode. Just chatting with a bot! anchordev.com - generated html landing page based on current website -> converted that to custom WordPress theme -> ACF field and populated to production over application passwords.
