I'm pretty sure that AI is much better and faster than me at writing code. Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks to all who recommended it- Sushi Go is going over well (though I’m pretty sure we’ve misunderstood half the rules). I’ll be picking up a few more from everyone’s suggestions during our Christmas shopping.
We want to jazz up our family game night. What are your recommendations for family board/card games? (Kids are ages 3 - 11)

Great opinion piece from Anil Dash on being realistic about incorporating AI in software. Useful framing for WordPress as well. https://t.co/nzcaFFcwJJ

Building and managing a live Woo store for my wife's business has been the best learning experience. I'm having really strong opinions about things like extensibility/extension development, bulk product variation management, WordPress in the mobile browser.

One reason I think ecomm websites are still important for the foreseeable future: they serve as the central hub as you expand into other marketplaces, communities, and ad networks to promote your products.

Mike is my favorite person in WordPress, hands down.
Effective immediately, I hereby place @thekevingeary on X probation for the crime of relentless negativity and having zero chill. However, I'm giving him a chance to turn his online life around before he becomes the first and only person I've ever blocked.

Was reminded of the fast food restaurant Weinerschnitzel and checked to see if there was one near us. There is, but the reviews are mixed.

I'm a single issue voter, I want the warm lights back. Streetlights are too blue. Headlights are too bright. It's a crime against nature and God. We need to demand 2800K or below color balance for all outdoor lights. Some cities regulate 3000k max, that's still too damn blue.

Followed up and had Claude write a plugin and a tutorial https://t.co/Ha4p6TuWpE

Note: the plugin, and this tutorial, were written by Claude code and edited by me. Blame the singularity.You can download the plugin at the end of the post. WooCommerce 10.3 came out with built-in …
@se_nadir Yup! I know, which is why I was so confused. No errors in the console. It just wouldn't work. I completely changed the code and eventually got the new PlaceAutocomplete sort of working, but it wouldn't autofill. I gave up; otherwise, the newsletter would never have gone out. 😂

I love when you tell Claude Code your concerns about an approach and it says "you're right" and then doesn't change anything- it just mentions it in the comments near the code after a heading like "TRADEOFFS" or something.
