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.

I built Yoast SEO. I ran my blog on WordPress for years. Then yesterday I moved it to static HTML. Everything that matters, SEO, search, schema, is still there. What I dropped was the overhead. Do you actually need a CMS? For quite some sites: no. joost.blog/do-you-need-a-…

@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

@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

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.
The Vigilant Fox 🦊@VigilantFox

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.

Internationally recognized neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman reveals a surprising trick to help you fall back asleep when you wake up in the middle of the night. “I can’t promise, but I’m willing to wager… that within five minutes or so, you’ll be back to sleep.”

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.
Marcus Burnette — The WP World@marcusdburnette

When #WordPress 7.0 comes out, will people trust using the AI Connectors? Since the APIs cost money, what if I install a plugin that uses the Connector for thousands of API calls and I don't realize until I get the bill? How do we keep that from happening?

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.

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.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@AOC

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽‍♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

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.
SPEC@___4o____

I took a long hiatus from programming, and during that time I started to believe the retards saying coding was solved. I finally came out of retirement and spent most of the day working on a production react app. You guys are retarded. The needle barely moved.

You could have put in a bid, too, lol. Just because he's wealthy because of his father doesn't actually make him good at what he's doing. AEW is - and has been - hemorrhaging money since its inception. For Tony, it's a calculated investment with the hope that it'll pay off. But as it stands right now, it's not remotely profitable (despite what paid dirt sheet writers will have you think). He's only going to continue writing blank checks for so long until he decides it's better to move on. For the sake of all of the people making money - should hope he figures it out sooner than later.
