@perezbox I have too. Just using WP as the starting point and disconnecting from there. :). wordpress.org/plugins/static…

I’ve been experimenting with static sites + AI tools like Claude for the past 2 months and I’m honestly shocked how much easier things are compared to #WordPress. No plugin chaos. No theme conflicts. Smaller attack surface. #WebDev #StaticSites #AI

@si1very @FlyFrontier That’s a DFW airport issue, not Frontier. You’d be shocked at how disjointed processes and technology is on a gate by gate basis and the airlines have no say in it.

So irritating - our @FlyFrontier flight back to DFW from SLC arrived early before the estimated 12:35 arrival time, but now we've just been sitting for over 30 minutes on the tarmac because they don't have a gate available. 😡 They should give extra flyer miles for my time.

@si1very @bluehost Yikes!

Very unimpressed with @bluehost's new set-up processes for websites. When you click to have a WordPress website set up, it now forces you into only two options: (1) have AI set it up in seconds; (2) import an existing WordPress site. No option for: I want a blank WP install.

@thejasonbyrne it’s been a few years since you had a young American @sianschaefer on the stage at Edinburgh Fringe. He’s grown up now and @TONYROCK continued the tradition. Good stuff. instagram.com/reel/DTySKr-kq…

Today my book >CLI launches with the goal of promoting the role of modern command-line interfaces in a cloud & agentic AI centric world. The spotlight chapters cover @wpcli , @warpdotdev , and @Speedtest . All examples are written in @golang . moderncli.dev

Claude Code: A New Era of CLI I’ve been exploring Claude Code — powerful, but very different from the Unix traditions I grew up with. I just published some reflections from 30 years with CLIs. Curious what you think. derickschaefer.medium.com/claude-code-vs… #AI #CLI #Unix #DevTools

@NBCDFW such misleading reporting today on curbside trash pickup. The alley you showcased had 20+ homeowner code violations for overgrown brush. That’s the story! You missed it. Where is code enforcement ? Where was Gay Willis?

@PietroPuglies19 @VincentPugliese @SQZBaseball @CoachS_Ewing @WinterParkCats Where’s the batting helmet? :)

About a year ago I started a project to unpack how systems like WordPress handle sanitization and escaping — and reimagine that for Go. The result emphasizes simplicity and extensibility. I think it’s ready. @v1.1.3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">pkg.go.dev/github.com/der… @golang #golang

@BaldwinAgriland I played 5 games with him at a fundraiser. He made my stats with assists both ways. His hands are ridiculous! @sianschaefer got to meet him in the locker room. (Skipped school to do it :) )

Humble brag: I have a signed Ales Hemsky puck. #TexasHockey

Exploring Gen AI, I successfully prompted my way through creating a website 95% created by Gen AI. It features 4 π calculators written in C; one is a full-blown event-driven, multi-threaded API only server. Powerful stuff! #Mathematics #CProgramming picalculator.app

@RafalTomal @RafalTomal a 1GB size droplet at Digital Ocean is $6 a month. Building their standard LEMP on it requires 2 commands per month to keep all up to date. Backups add a few extra $ per month.

Is there a cheap but solid WordPress hosting solution for single-page sites? 🤔 Let's say you just want to use a block theme without any plugins.

@TXPrivateFBGuy Not sure I’d base a long term sports and education decision on 60 days of headlines. Just validate on visits that the locker room and coaching has your culture.

I don’t like getting political on here, but I can’t help but wonder how the anti-semitism activity on woke college campuses is affecting the TXPSFB recruiting world. That’s got to be a hard sale to generally conservative Texas private school student athletes and families… You wouldn’t catch me wanting to play Ivy League right now…

@RafalTomal One last option is 1099 them for forgiveness of debt. You write it off and they pay taxes on what they owe you. If you have their EIN that is the easiest and least risky way forward.

@RafalTomal Two choices. Either walk from it and look forward or start with a friendly letter, followed by a demand letter, followed by a law suit. Under 10K you are in small claims territory which is easy. Over that, it could be federal if copyright is involved and loser pays the legal.

I've been freelancing and working on website projects for clients since I was 16. For the first time, I am facing an issue where a client is refusing to pay the remaining 50% of the project. Initially, they had promised to pay, but now they are avoiding my messages and emails. Our role for this project was limited to designing the website on Figma, and the client was supposed to handle the coding part. They copied our design from the Figma preview file before the final delivery and relaunched their website with our design without paying us. We have a contract signed and all email communication in our records indicating that we did our part of the work. What next steps would you recommend taking?

@TXPrivateFBGuy Probably not take it out to social media. Impressive would be if you had a well written statement as to the factors considered in your ranking. That’s how I’d respond. Raise the conversation above the kid and focus on the process.

You can’t make this up! Most of the TXPSFB parents are very supportive and encouraging, but time to time you have these! How would you respond? #Blocked

A referee is in some serious hot water for ripping the helmet off of a player and then penalizing him 😳 This incident happened during the Whitney @ Dallas Madison game in Seagoville #txhsfb Via @KarlaAHaynes
