I've had to manually choose to use Claude 4 Sonnet in Cursor because the results I was getting from GPT-5 were so poor. 🤦‍♂️ Is it going to get better? 🤔 CNBC: GPT-5′s rollout fell flat for consumers, but is gaining where it matters most cnbc.com/2025/08/14/gpt…

In one instance, I got a client's bill down from £100/month to £10/year, just by cancelling and consolidating a myriad of different hosting packages and add-ons that they'd accumulated over the years.

Over the years they layer on additional charges that appear essential to the untrained eye. - PHP Extended Support (rather than helping users to upgrade) - Email 'firewalls' (I don't even know what they're selling half the time) - Multiple hosting packages (when one would do)

I consistently find myself coming back to IONOS as a hosting platform. Solid offerings, cheap prices. But as I've started to help friends & family out with their sites, I do wonder if their cheap pricing is supplemented by the number of money-making methods they employ...

@Kwebbelkop I spent an unhealthy amount of time looking at the chart trying to work out why your broadband speeds are so low.

Traveling is terrible for my stress levels. The airplanes are hot, crowded, you’re rushing and overal it’s not a relaxing experience. I try to make traveling as chill as possible, but unforeseen delays can cause stress levels to spike. It took me 2 hours of sitting in the plane, playing video games, to get my stress levels back to normal. 2 hours! That’s a longer recovery than me going on a run! Maybe I should actually arrive to the airport 4 hours before my flight to really make it a chill experience. Tricky to balance time efficiency and stress management.

Next time you feel like a failure as a developer, just remember that it's 2025 and Instagram still doesn't scale properly on a desktop or tablet.

It's crazy to me that WordPress haven't even bothered to change all of the references to ACF in the plugin. Even the help files point to the WP Engine-hosted documentation.

When people ask if I'd like to jump on a call, why do they never mean this?
