If we set up a single WordPress, we have a site but if we set up two we have a parasites

PRC PDF Extraction is especially important; we believe it is critical for helping LLMs better understand the entirety of our publicly available research data, which is often locked in PDFs. This system uses Claude, with a fallback to Gemini, to extract content from PDFs and store it as blocks. This one is hard to demonstrate, and until we begin converting some of these next week not much to show you as it's mostly WP CLI driven, however we did add a button to dispatch an Action Scheduler async job to run a conversion in the background, so enjoy that. Yes, PDF to blocks. Like everything else in the PRC Platform stack, PDF Extraction employs Markdown, allowing agents to convert blocks into Markdown tables. In future iterations, we plan to introduce our static image-to-chart builder AI pipeline to extract even more complex PDF documents. This plugin, and Markdown for Agents would not be possible without the incredible help we're getting from @whyisjake and @WordPressVIP.

Some cool stuff coming from @SethRubenstein and the engineering team at @pewresearch. Happy to have played a small roll in their success.

"But you're just generating slop!" Look at the results. People use these apps. They're good enough that strangers contribute improvements instead of rebuilding from scratch.

I built a webcam app in my spare time using AI. Someone tried to build the same thing. Claude kept surfacing my code... He found my app, didn't need to build his own, and left a feature suggestion. I shipped it a few days later. This is what open source looks like now. 🧵

Excited to announce Claude for Open Source ❤️ We're giving 6 months of free Claude Max 20x to open source maintainers and core contributors. If you maintain a popular project or contribute across open source, please apply! claude.com/contact-sales/…

I shipped an app. WalkUp DJ — walk-up music for baseball and softball teams. Build your roster, pick songs from Apple Music, tap to play during at-bats. AI announcer intros. AirPlay to the PA. Game Mode for the dugout. The spring season starts now. jakespurlock.com/2026/02/announ…

@larrybrownsport Or, just use this new template.

@whyisjake thanks for creating that baseball lineups template. Question: I wanted to add a position option for left center and right center since we have 4 OFs. How do I edit what color those appear as, and how do I get them to count as OF in the position breakdown chart? thanks!

@eweinhoffer Using WhatsApp and the browser mostly so far…

@whyisjake that's.. a lot of messages. Going way up in 2026 thanks to OpenClaw? 👀
