  • In reply to @davidbisset. This is mainly why I have https://davidbisset.social suck up my tweets and Mastodon posts. At least I can do a quick search of the things I share (which is why if i want to save it – i post it, not retweet or boost… because I don't get those sucked up).…

  • Unpopular opinion here but #Mastodon search and discovery at times as bad or worse then Twitter. I saw a post on another server that later I wanted to search for and my instance couldn't find it… i can't check out some posts from folks I stumble across unless I go to their servers. Browsers extensions…

  • Mastodon: "Ignore Twitter, we're doing our own thing." Also Mastodon: "Did you hear about what Twitter did today? Surely it's lights out for them now."

  • Thrilled that my daughter will be on the Torque Magazine podcast to talk #WordPress, youth, and what young people her age are doing in tech for their future. She's doing it live at 5pm ET but it will be recorded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbC9YWNmEac

  • The visuals in this is fantastic. Worth a read even if load balancing isn't directly related to what you do. https://samwho.dev/load-balancing/

  • Twitter's use continues to lessen for me – but one exception is AI and GPT news. Not much talk and showing off on #Mastodon but using a Twitter list and search i'm seeing cool new stuff every day. So using Twitter less but more effectively is a win.

  • Based on my observations, these are the "overall negative generalizations" of the attitudes of current social network audiences. – Twitter thinks they're witter and more clever than you. – Mastodon thinks they're better than you (if you still use Twitter or weren't the first early adopters). – Instagram thinks they're better looking than you. –…

    "What's it like testing in production?" Me as a developer: 🤔

  • Hey #WordPress folks…. here's what I gathered from feedback (and my own $0.02) on what if there was a Phase 5 of Gutenberg. https://davidbisset.com/gutenberg-phase-5/

  • What's new in #PHP 8.3 (coming in November) https://stitcher.io/blog/new-in-php-83

  • When you sit down on the toilet seat in the middle of the night…. it's warm… and you live alone.

  • In order for #Mastodon to succeed Twitter doesn't have to fail.

  • For some reading this on #Mastodon some of this might fall into "hard to swallow pills" meme territory but i'm mostly agreeing with @andy on most of on why #Mastodon although still superior long-term… is a little icky lately. https://andy-bell.co.uk/i-think-im-not-alone-that-mastodon-is-giving-me-the-ick/ It's mainly seeing how someone references "birdsite" and the "we are trying so much not…

    Client: "We won't pay you extra, but thanks for working overtime for that last minute bug in production!" Freelancers:

  • More of these will keep coming, but here's a review of Video Tap – "automatically convert YouTube videos to blog posts". I don't see any reason why this couldn't be built into #WordPress but then… why limit yourself if you're the plugin author (trick would be to find a way where it's BETTER in WP).…

  • Lots of crap… er, I mean #WordPress news on https://wpfront.page this morning. I know it's my daughter's project too but might use this to document WP items more in the future then sharing everything on Twitter and Mastodon and having davidbisset.social suck those links up.

  • Productive day. So me and my daughter fixed two things with https://wpfront.page today: – There's now an RSS feed.– Moble table fixed for the #WordPress AI Plugin tracker (which will have a few more plugins added to it this weekend) https://wpfront.page/list/ai-plugins/

  • Brilliant. "In Defence of the Single Page Application" Worth a click. Won't spoil it. https://williamkennedy.ninja/javascript/2022/05/03/in-defence-of-the-single-page-application/

  • This week for the first time (and second, so twice) I used #ChatGPT (free version so i'm guessing v3.5) coding questions. Both times it got the returned requested function wrong… but after a little feedback from me it corrected both times. For Regex and complicated things dealing with recursion and arrays it definitely saved me…

  • In the Age of AI, Don't Let Your Skills Atrophy (via @dmitry) https://www.cyberdemon.org/2023/03/29/age-of-ai-skill-atrophy.html #AI

  • In reply to @davidbisset. I’m more interested in replies than the poll. Because I could've added accessibility, performance, “cleaning up old tix” although I think these should be a part of ANY phase and not waiting years or even months. Why add AI? Wildcard. This is a couple years from now after all. Poll repeated…

  • I know it's a tall order for a Saturday night but hey developers… If anyone has experience or knows of good tutorials that can show you how to integrate testing with https://buddy.works (I want to be able to run at first tests on PHP code, #WordPress standards, etc. as I push a branch to #Github)…

    https://writeout.ai is an app built partly in #PHP that "transcribes and translates audio files using OpenAI's Whisper API." https://github.com/beyondcode/writeout.ai

  • Interesting. Kind of similar to #Mastodon but I think (at first glance anyway) more readable. Domain Names as Handles in #Bluesky: https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/3-6-2023-domain-names-as-handles-in-bluesky I haven't gotten access yet but i want to give it a try.
