@mikemcalister @BuildWithOllie Among the many great things about this, is that you guys are making it exceptionally easy for me to pack up and bring my 🏀 to another court. 🤣

Made a Slack :cmyes: emoji today for a dumb thing I sometimes say and will not be apologizing for releasing it into the world wild web 🤷

"Journalistic integrity aside, I don’t know how I can give a better example of what’s at stake here. We have an example of what appears to be another AI reinterpreting this story and hallucinating false information about me. And that interpretation has already been published in a major news outlet, as part of the persistent public record." theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-pu…

Crossed a pretty satisfying personal milestone today about 20 months in the making: 24 doses of vaccines to retrain my immune system to be resilient in the modern world post-transplant. Very glad to be done with arm punches for a while, very grateful and fortunate to get them.

We used to hunt the bug down in the codebase with our bare eyes
English
@mikemcalister @shaunandrews I still CLI every now and then, /session helps go between app and terminal, but I would not have gotten a full podcast client cooked as fast in the terminal 🎧
English
@mikemcalister @shaunandrews I've got a few gripes, like: I want all the flags as UI options 😎 but much prefer the AskUserQuestion in the desktop app and I find it's nice to keep terminal for build tools and sessions near chats.
English
Is there an app that gives Claude Code a better UI? I am using it in terminal in Cursor's sidebar but it's kind of hard to read and interact with.
English
@nickmdiego @mikemcalister Yep, same. Separation of concerning copilots, or something 😅
English
@mikemcalister Yeah, I'm using the same setup. Do you find that you're actually using the AI tools in Cursor anymore? I find myself only using Claude Code or Codex. Thinking about making the switch back to VSCode.
English
I'm willing to pay for convenience. Time is precious. Plenty of apps and services I gladly pay for. It's also become convenient to cook right-sized, tailored solutions with workflows, whistles, AI and data where you want them.
Made my own podcast client and todo/grocery SaaS 😎

I’ve spent over a decade helping others learn to develop, create plugins, and extend #WordPress.
But I’d never actually published my own plugin. That changed last week with something that drew me to contributing to the WP Training Team & #LearnWP years ago. courtneyr.dev/2025/12/03/pos…

First time launching a product, and it's a #WordPress plugin called PodcasterPlus Blocks. Still some work to do on the site, but the product is pretty cool! podcasterplus.com If you don't get what it does, please reach out, more vids coming soon! Excited! With @danmaby

@richtabor But first migrate your server, then redo your DXP and workflow, next you can worry about frontend and only then can you write the words. Just did step one 😅
English
Yep. Officially Friday. Ran fit getch origin just now.
English
@0aveRyan Dude I actually have a prototype of this I considered adding, but ran out of time. Soon!

@mebenedetto @bgardner I meant in a way that writes a font-family to the page -- from theme.json styles, global styles or from a specific entity!
English
@0aveRyan @bgardner > if the font isn't declared in theme.json or through a block editor
That part is not accurate. Even if the font is defined in the theme.json or installed with the font library, it won't be downloaded if it's not in use on the page. Browsers handle that:

Matias Benedetto@mebenedetto
Hi! Browsers already optimize for this: font faces not actually needed (i.e., not applied to any element on the page) aren't downloaded, regardless of whether the @/font-face definition is present. For that reason, from my POV, WordPress shouldn't add extra logic for that
English
Block themes still load their bundled font via @/font-face… even after a user adds/uploads a custom font. Is this really optimal? Should WordPress Core address this? It’s why I’m leaning toward system fonts; because performance first. ⚡
English
@bgardner @mebenedetto Yep! It's made me variably waffle on variable fonts depending on weight quantity and other axes 😎 prefer variable fonts but you can best-optimize for perf by isolating weights. It's just tough because the core default is active if registered, not if used in the current render.
English
@mebenedetto Ah, excellent—it was the deactivating step I was missing in order to get them to no longer print. Thanks so much for this! cc: @0aveRyan
