Gonna toot my own horn. One of my better photos. Feels like it really captured Boston in the summer. The lush greenery. The old reflected in the modern. What a city.

Since I’ll be doing more episodes of Smart Bear Live, like the one just done with the great @DmytroKrasun, I’ve created a podcast as well as the YouTube channel.
It should be everywhere: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc..
Weee!

I'm about to launch a brand new app for podcasters. If you're already making a podcast, or are thinking of starting, it'll really help you. It's very powerful and I'm keen to get some people onboard soon. If you are interested, join the list: nathanwrigley.com/podcast-app-in… #podcasting

I studied Information Science, and we learned a lot about semantics and technology - we used to model large "Ontologies" by hand, and I never imagined this would be useful one day, but here we are in the agentic AI era - so if you want to learn some fundamentals: youtube.com/watch?v=Sir59K…

The world has never been better aligned with our core ethos: Tiny teams can build wildly successful business without VC. But just remember to enjoy the lifestyle along the way, and buy a yellow Lamborghini when you can!

@dhh This was such a fantastic and insightful interview - thank you.

@JamesWelbes Love that. Makes taking over the entire thing and using it as a bot network so much easier! 😂

one advantage to having all your WordPress sites in one place, on a box like hetzner is you can easily have your AI agent build you a UI for managing all of them without having to mess with installing a plugin on each site and setting it up. It just auto detects all the WP sites that are there. Then you can build in whatever management features you want.
And you don't have to pay a monthly fee for it.
Goodbye ManageWP.

@DmytroKrasun I don't think that's ever happening.
Now that AI is table-stakes, we still have 1% of people making a living out of it and 99% of people pretending to do something and don't really care about users or customers - you can give these people everything; it won't help.

Software is solved. There is nothing left to debate.
It is time to move on to creating playable games, joyful products, making money and having fun.
It is to time get back to building.
Demonstration videos have proven what these models can do. Huge thanks to everyone creating them. But there is a new bar to reach:
Make a complete game people want to play. Make it multiplayer. Polish it. Give it a story. Ship it. Get feedback. Iterate.
Make games and software people want to share with others.

Claude Opus 5 one-shotted this game. EVERYTHING you see in this demo is custom code... not a single external asset was used. AI games are going to be amazing. (sound on)

@mark_jansen @holafly_com Need a solid alternative? Use Saily: saily.com
We traveled across the entire world last year, only using it (with a small interruption in Laos, because it's not available there), and it worked great.
English
Damn, @holafly_com yours is the worst company I’ve come across in a long time.
You have the worst customer service and promise all kinds of stuff you can’t or won’t deliver and blaim it on other companies.
I suggest no one ever use their services / eSims

@DmytroKrasun @aarondfrancis I think good test coverage made the big difference for me. No new code without a comprehensive test - this, along with different models/providers for review and writing code, almost solved it for me.
English
@aarondfrancis I am impressed 😮 Automated tests, plus vibe checks?
I use the latest models like GPT-5.6 Sol and still see issues with them. What’s that in me that prevents me code review process to let go?
English
With respect to Robert and to anyone who no longer reviews code, I would still like to see what you have built.
I am super open to changing my point of view, but before I do, I need to play with the results of your work. I want to know the size of your codebase and if it fits the context window. And how agents behave when your codebase and its patterns are outside of the model training data.
With Opus 4.8/Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol, yes, I believe that technical debt might be largely solved, but there is cognitive debt. And it has an impact on how you develop your software over time and whether you can keep supporting changes to it, even with agents.
I want to see if your codebase has stood the test of time and whether your customers were happy.

I’m significantly older than you. I started coding in the late 60s. My current strategy is to not read any of the code written by my agents. That’s the only way I can take advantage of their productivity. What I do instead is to surround the agents with extreme constraints. Unit tests, gherkin tests, QA procedures, quality metrics, mutation testing, test coverage, and a plethora of others. In the end, I have very high confidence in the code they produce because they’ve had to run the gauntlet of all of my constraints and tests.

The demo for our new upcoming WooCommerce Product Search plugin is ready. 45,000 products (15k - each 3 variations), searched in 500ms 😎 Try it out please and let me know what you think 🙏 search-demo.studiowombat.com/search-demo/

@i_mika_el @asmartbear @DmytroKrasun You can still watch "How to Get Rich with an e-book in 30 seconds" afterward!🤣
English
@patrickposner_ @asmartbear @DmytroKrasun yeah, a long SaaS chat with @asmartbear beats another 30-second founder clip 😅
English
The chat between @asmartbear and @DmytroKrasun is honestly a must-watch for every indie/solo founder running a SaaS (or similarly structured) business.
I know it's longer than your average YouTube short, but I can vouch for it; it's 100% worth a watch:

@patrickposner_ Lol seems like people can't comprehend using WP within a microservice architecture

The core idea behind Static WordPress is simple:
Use WordPress to manage content.
Do not require WordPress to serve every public page view.
That one shift changes a lot.
English
@ReneHermenau This is so smart.
We are currently porting Static Studio to Docker for better control and a way more streamlined workflow - I might have to steal that idea one day! 😅

After more than a year of work, our team is finally launching WP Staging Desktop 👀
Turn WordPress backups into local Docker sites in minutes, switch PHP versions, and skip manual setup.
We made the core local workflow free. Tell me what you think:

@JackEllis @pieterbeulque @asmartbear @DmytroKrasun I guess the migration can wait a bit - therapy time.

My product is growing by $1,000 MRR monthly, but my growth acceleration is zero. The amount of money I add each month doesn't change.
I am grateful for that and don't complain, but I am curious about the fundamentals and why that works the way it works.
I have tried a lot of things to speed up the growth rate: different marketing channels, reducing churn, raising prices, and whatnot. You can see on the graph, it didn't help much. It is zero.
How to escape linear growth? My current guess:
If you are not in the crazy growing market, I don't see any other option to grow faster than: adding new products, new features, and new ICPs. Expanding, long story short. And even that will stabilize at some point.
That puzzles me recently. You are welcome to join.

@monroeandco It depends - with Simply Static Pro, we support most form plugins and let you use WP itself to handle it (via the REST API)
On Static Studio, we handle the entire thing for you (similar to what third-party tools do).
English
@patrickposner_ How do you handle contact forms? This is the only hang up I’ve found in testing the static plugin exports and testing static hosts … then clients need to pay for some third party form/email addon
