I’m sorry but unless you understand how the code actually works, the “vibes” are not good, the “vibes” are a red flag

#AI is going to replace us, not. @SmartBillRo

What is your editor of choice for writing #WordPress and #WooCommerce code?

[bitpoke @bitpoke]

Switching sides - from being the ones reviewed to working with @ReviewSignal to improve the process! We’re now assisting @kevinohashi in implementing an #opensource load testing app based on @Grafana k6 & @kubernetesio for @WordPress & @WooCommerce https://t.co/KOcsfzeM8c

@calind spends 6512% more time coding than tweeting

I think frontend interactivity is overrated for most websites. When I submit a form and don’t see my browser loading a new page the chance of bugs in general on that site is significantly higher.

[Calin Don @calind]

@briancoords Wow! Yes! Yes! Yes!

[Calin Don @calind]

This @ThePrimeagen video on AI just summarizes it all. 👏Hats off! https://t.co/G3MTC8Jo3A

@tobias_petry What would you use to maintain the partitions, events, or external cron?

[Calin Don @calind]

@hurrycane 2/2 When I asked it to write a somewhat complex (or rather novel) piece of code it always failed to do so correctly and I ended up spending A LOT of time cleaning the code up compared to the time I would need to write that from ground up.

[Calin Don @calind]

We're more than years into the making of AI coding assistants. Can we agree that #ai can't write code or at least that we're very far from that point?

[Calin Don @calind]

@hurrycane 1/2 The only thing I found it to be good at, is autocompleting things like `foo_x = "barX"` with `foo_y = "barY"` and `foo_z = "barZ"` or formulating some basic function/class descriptions. But these give marginal productivity boost.

[Calin Don @calind]

Until then, keep calm and replace line 367 in file `wp-includes/Requests/src/Transport/Curl.php` with `if (!isset($headers['Connection'])) {`

I am patiently waiting for https://t.co/cu3NhQrYIu to start charging $5 for fixing sites that upgraded to #WordPress 6.4.

[Calin Don @calind]

Just finished a project using @djangoproject, @tailwindcss and @htmx_org. It was amazingly comforting to go back to the basics.

"If I just bite the bullet and learn #Kubernetes, could I self-host all that and eventually save up money?" - Best take on k8s lately.

@danpdev If your WordPress security approach is installing a plugin, then you are doing it wrong. Keep it simple, reduce the number of plugins/themes/dependencies on your website, and keep it up to date. Security is an ongoing effort, you can't just install a plugin and call it a day.

I've published the #neovim port for the Selenized color scheme I'm using.

Enjoy at https://t.co/qsIUMLndzV!

@thesobercoder @kelseyhightower #kubernetes is appropriate espcially for runnuning stateful containerised workload like databases. If everything you need to run are stateless services it's probably overkill.
