I’m sorry but unless you understand how the code actually works, the “vibes” are not good, the “vibes” are a red flag

What is your editor of choice for writing #WordPress and #WooCommerce code?

Switching sides - from being the ones reviewed to working with @ReviewSignal to improve the process! We’re now assisting @kevinohashi in implementing an #opensource load testing app based on @Grafana k6 & @kubernetesio for @WordPress & @WooCommerce bitpoke.io/blog/helping-t…

I think frontend interactivity is overrated for most websites. When I submit a form and don’t see my browser loading a new page the chance of bugs in general on that site is significantly higher.

@briancoords Wow! Yes! Yes! Yes!

A crazy thought experiment: let’s make Page the default post type in WordPress and make Posts (and all that come with them) opt-in. Here's why it'd make the UX cleaner, onboarding easier, and help WordPress fight the view that it's "just for blogging". briancoords.com/should-the-pag…

@deathy 🤣🤣

mental note: don't check inbox at exactly midnight, it's when the daemons come out, some generating mails others moving/archiving them

@tobias_petry What would you use to maintain the partitions, events, or external cron?

⚡️ Database Tip Deleting hundreds of thousands of rows is slow, impacts your performance and doesn't free the allocated disk space. But you can delete old data very efficiently if you partition your table by time ranges and drop one of them. sqlfordevs.com/partition-dele…

@hurrycane 2/2 When I asked it to write a somewhat complex (or rather novel) piece of code it always failed to do so correctly and I ended up spending A LOT of time cleaning the code up compared to the time I would need to write that from ground up.

@hurrycane 1/2 The only thing I found it to be good at, is autocompleting things like `foo_x = "barX"` with `foo_y = "barY"` and `foo_z = "barZ"` or formulating some basic function/class descriptions. But these give marginal productivity boost.

We're more than years into the making of AI coding assistants. Can we agree that #ai can't write code or at least that we're very far from that point?

Until then, keep calm and replace line 367 in file `wp-includes/Requests/src/Transport/Curl.php` with `if (!isset($headers['Connection'])) {` #diff-8987def65a17ccc44aa946873352a2cc1a2daeeefc3792cfe6b796e9d707b981L367" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/WordPress/Word…

I am patiently waiting for wp-fixcurl.io to start charging $5 for fixing sites that upgraded to #WordPress 6.4.

Just finished a project using @djangoproject, @tailwindcss and @htmx_org. It was amazingly comforting to go back to the basics.

@danpdev If your WordPress security approach is installing a plugin, then you are doing it wrong. Keep it simple, reduce the number of plugins/themes/dependencies on your website, and keep it up to date. Security is an ongoing effort, you can't just install a plugin and call it a day.

GM WordPress heroes! How do you secure your websites from hackers and malware? What's your go-to security plugin and backup tool?

I've published the #neovim port for the Selenized color scheme I'm using. Enjoy at github.com/calind/seleniz…!

@thesobercoder @kelseyhightower #kubernetes is appropriate espcially for runnuning stateful containerised workload like databases. If everything you need to run are stateless services it's probably overkill.
