@godofprompt Gemini

Google won't teach you how to use Gemini properly. So I made the Gemini Mastery Guide. Inside: → 30 prompt engineering principles for Gemini → Nano Banana Pro image generation workflows → Veo 3 video generation guide → 10+ custom Gems with ready-to-use prompts → Full prompt engineering mini-course → Gemini in Google Workspace breakdowns This is everything I've learned stress-testing Gemini 3. Comment "Gemini" and I'll DM it to you. (Must be following)

@SethRubenstein Short array and short ternary would be good but the short open tag syntax is not going to save any time for me. I don't think it makes anything easier to read.

Gonna throw up. PHP short tags are for degenerates and sinners. make.wordpress.org/core/2025/12/0…

@PovilasKorop That is a great point and something I have been looking at. It's been 5 years since I did a Laravel App and recently I have an app I am considering building with Laravel. So this is the exact question I have been trying to answer. Which way should I build it and why.

I had to choose a starter kit for my new Laravel project/course. And then I realized smth wrong in many dev courses. There are many choices of tools/path the course may use. For example, Laravel starter kit choice for a live-coding project. Usually, author just chooses one of kits and moves on without explanation why. But that choice is what students would inevitably face when trying to create the same project after the course. And they wouldn't know why the course author chose, for example, React starter kit, or Breeze. So, I think, in my upcoming course on SaaS I will stop more on *choices of tools* and alternatives. Yes, it may make the course 2-3x longer. But should be 10x more valuable. Hopefully. Because no.1 question I often get from devs is "which tool should I use for XYZ". And, of course, the answer is "it depends". So I wanna answer the question "depends on WHAT".

@thekevingeary Vuepress is used by query monitor - seems to be pretty good

Best non-WordPress platform for managing product documentation? Weighing options!

@SmoleyDG @bennyjohnson @JesslovesMJK The chart says 8000k, which means 8000000. The k is used on the vertical axis to reduce space.

@bennyjohnson @JesslovesMJK This graph shows transactions peaking a $8,000 per month. It doesn’t add up to millions.

🚨 This is the biggest scandal in news media history: No employee at Politico got paid yesterday. First time ever the company missed a pay period. This is a crisis. Now we learn Politico — a “news company” — which spent the last 10 years trying to destroy the MAGA Movement was being massively funded by USAID. Trump & Elon deleted their funding. Now Politico will go out of business. The corruption is endless. Good riddance

@richtabor If you look at brand guidelines for medium to big brands they impose colour rules and combination rules to ensure consistency. If wp can do this, it would be a big step forward. I don't know how to do that. Maybe an advanced colour rules tool of some sort.

how would you make this control to edit your site's color palette better? #WordPress

@ezsmith397 Zoho projects - has timers etc and is half the price. Integrates with Google drive etc.

Agency folks, Asana or Clickup for project management? Need to revisit our setup again going into 2025. Trello is flexible, but not quite doing what we need.

Wordcamp Sydney has began. #wcsyd it's great to get together with my fellow WordPress users and developers in the land down under. #WordPress

@AspirePressOrg I would like 4 things, 1. Make SEO good without the need of a plugin. 2. custom fields should be good without needing Acf. Cpt should have an easy option for dedicated table in sql. 3. S3 storage as default for media 4. Responsive editing / blocks with a Css framework

If you want to talk about a forked version of WordPress with a chance at the future, let’s talk. What do you want to see? What’s your vision for the future of WhateverPress? “Matt-Free” is a cop out. Give me something substantive. Let’s talk about what’s next. #WordPress

@seanpatward Vitamin d, b, c and e with good water are the best things I have found. B and D make a big difference. Lower imflamation and joint pain is noticeable. I also ground. I'm 44, walk 50k steps a week and workout too. Eat clean - no sugar or alcohol. Low carb, no dairy. No packet food

I take zero supplements. Not even a vitamin. I’m 44, 6’1”, 180 lbs. Work out hard five days a week. Get at least 8,000 steps a day. Eat clean (except when I’m around chocolate chip cookies). Are there any supplements that are absolutely worth taking? Not something you’ve read about but something you actually take and can definitely feel or see a difference with?

@briancoords Lighting. Get a key light. Camera Hacks only go so far. Key lights with temp adjustment are the answer.

Smart YouTubers - why do I look so white/washed out on camera? Is it the white wall directly behind my monitor? My monitor brightness? My lighting temperature? Any resources to educate myself would be appreciated 🙏

So what you're saying is contributor day at wordcamp should not including documentation. Why? We are not contributing to the WordPress foundation but Matt and A8c get content for free? I guess it's the same for the learning team? That's an issue IMHO. Especially when dot com gets updated by Automattic and they don't update the content on dot org, for exactly the same thing. This blurly line should end and the foundation setup needs to mature. Certifications, paid plugin repo that uses git and paid leaning materials via dot org would be huge for WordPress. These have been needed for some time. Hopefully Matt's actions trigger a wider conversation and will allow Automattic competition to pay the foundation directly instead of Automattic. It's time to grow up. WordPress has grown and the foundation setup should change to reflect that.

There's been so much bad info around what is "open source", what counts as contributing, and what Matt can or can't do. I've tried to clarify as much of that as possible and give my small opinion on what should happen next in the #WordPress fight. briancoords.com/misconceptions…

@dbchhbr I think this chart is wrong. I have contributed to docs and I'm not on the list/ diagram. How accurate is the chart? Who made it?

Can you find WP Engine’s contributions to WordPress 6.6? 🧐

@ajgagnon It's awful. It's on purpose and it's very much burning WordPress to the ground.

Is this true? Can anyone confirm? If so, this crosses a line for me.

@noeltock @jamesbrooksco The last few Malaysia ones and Singapore were okay. Uganda Jinja has a much younger demo.

@mrkwordpress @jamesbrooksco That wasn't my experience with WC Asia. Younger yes, but I wouldn't have put the largest demo in 20-30. That being said :)... @jamesbrooksco can run his script here asia.wordcamp.org/2024/attendees/

@markjszymanski I might have come if I knew there was golf.

When @photomatt said 'Learn JavaScript deeply' in 2015, PHP developer @mrkwordpress said 'LOL, nope'. Turns out that wasn't a great long-term strategy! Join Matt Knighton as he shares how he went from hating blocks to loving them with some simple development techniques.

@insta_wp @thewpweekly @remkusdevries @wplift @wpcontent_co @WPTutz @kylevandeusen @natmiletic @idavinder @theunlimitedwp It would be a good idea that when someone already has an InstaWP account you guys don't make a new one with the same name to enter the competition. Alternatively add some more documentation about how to deal with entering the comp with an existing account.
