the monorepo folks won me over

moved Extra Chill's entire WordPress Multisite platform into a monorepo

makes it easier to see what all has been built

23 custom plugins not counting Data Machine

it all started with some bbPress customizations...

@bradvin Discord and Slack feel pretty similar to me. I like the way Discord handles threading versus Slack. I dislike the ads

[Chris Huber @chubes4]

@riadbenguella I use it to edit markdown files sometimes

[Chris Huber @chubes4]

@batuhan WordPress is dope

(also my own opinion)

[Chris Huber @chubes4]

@iansvo Yeah i think you're right. I don't have a desire to appeal to the masses with this tool. I just want to ship faster and save tokens haha

For me a lot of this was curiosity. I wanted to experiment with Rust. Had some ideas. A year went by and now i have something really useful

[Chris Huber @chubes4]

the time and tokens I spent building an orchestrator pays off in the speed and efficiency at which i can ship

[Chris Huber @chubes4]

@iansvo Somebody might engineer it better but my ideas have all come from my own needs, so it will always be useful for me

[Chris Huber @chubes4]

@alanefuller I built it from scratch over the past ~year, now the hardest part (controlling a remote machine) is almost fully stabilized

[Chris Huber @chubes4]

@bradvin I use Pi running from the WordPress site root with instructions to reference core. It works great and I can use any model/provider i want
