GitHub web UI is getting slower every week! Doing code reviews is a pain now.
Use the GitHub Pull Request extension for VSCode to do them right in your editor — leave inline comments, explore commit history, etc.
Would love to have conventional comments support, though.

Sharing my recent numbers not to brag but to get feedback.
I find it hard to make technical content engaging. What are the one or two things that have helped you get consistent replies and shares?
So many of the AI crawlers don't use JS-enabled browsers so you need to access raw HTTP access logs to see the actual requests.
The problem is that most of this data is terminated at your CDN level and you might never know the true amount of referrals and crawlers.
For example, attached you can see both OpenAI crawler and referrals.
Has anyone built a WordPress version of Writebook for publishing books and manuals online?

This is the amount of auth credentials Google expects you to pass for a simple API fetch from Google Analytics, for example. There is no way to do it with a simple API key string.
Wow!

The combined WordPress documentation markdown files for LLMs now include the WP-CLI documentation!
Most WordPress plugins get abandoned not because nobody uses them but because the dev burns out.
Paying for plugins isn't about features, it's about sustainability of reliable solutions.
Which user capability should have access to this post meta inspector modal in WordPress? Possibly with an option to edit fields directly.
Today I learned about Mermaid diagrams which are created from plain text. Turns out even GitHub markdown supports them and LLMs are great at generating them.
Checkout this GitHub issue for an example: https://github.com/fairpm/fair-plugin/issues/233
While researching the FAIR protocol implementation, played around with some ideas for the project logo.

What’s your preferred tool for creating sample snapshots of large WordPress sites (with DB at 1GB+) for local and QA purposes?
What's your mental model of the WordPress block kitchen?
It was in 2012 when I first learned about AngularJS and the reactivity it brought to HTML with just a few changes to the markup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFTFsKmkQnQ
What is your solution for getting AI to work on simple GitHub issues like removing files or handling some dependency updates?
I would like to assign an issue to a tool like that and get a pull request out which I can then choose to merge or code review.
Responded to @janboddez:
@janboddez That’s a great approach. Relying on core design tokens definitely makes things consistent and predictable for editors.

Thought of this in the context of this article: https://developer.wordpress.org/news/2025/07/you-dont-need-theme-json-for-block-theme-styles/
When creating WP themes, what styles do you prefer to place in theme.json and which go into regular CSS files?
What do you think of putting user adjustable things into theme.json while keeping everything else in the CSS files.
