Building @cleanbrowsing and @noc_org and @logwithtrunc

Listed something on FB Marketplace. Buyer sent a "YOU GOT PAID" Venmo confirmation from a Gmail address. Classic phishing.

Next step: call a number to "release" your payment, then pay $300-500 to unlock it.

Wrote about why we built @cleanbrowsing to cover everything Cisco Umbrella (OpenDNS) does without the enterprise sales process around it.

Roaming agent, device hardening, mobile coverage, flat pricing. The whole stack.

@stkjj @jeffr0 What is a dev only solution?

[Tony Perez @perezbox]

@RobbyMcCullough @jeffr0 @chrislema Ha.. makes sense

[Tony Perez @perezbox]

@RobbyMcCullough @jeffr0 @chrislema I’m curious.. what does WP do for your business critical properties? That’s unique to it… genuine curiosity…

[Tony Perez @perezbox]

Built a 41-page site in 5 hours. No CMS. No database. No freelancer. Just flat PHP, Bootstrap, and AI handling 90% of the implementation. The barrier used to be build time. Now it's the idea itself. #AI #WebDev #BuildInPublic #PHP

Oh dear.. I messed up now.. went on and built my own editor hahaha 😅🤣

[Tony Perez @perezbox]

AI is a dangerous tool for someone like me.

Just build what I need and run the whole stack myself. The number of services I'm cancelling is mind boggling.

A tool that keeps up with my self-diagnosed ADHD.

My brain, however, files a complaint around 9pm.😂

[Tony Perez @perezbox]

This is cool and worth exploring.. you can ask your agent to analyze the repo and perform a gap analysis between what is being proposed and what you're already doing... pretty neat.. thanks for sharing @coreyhainesco .. if prompted right it'll give you a nice plan of action

Sometimes the best architecture is the one with the fewest moving parts.

I migrated https://t.co/CgsAtXGaZW from WordPress to flat PHP in 90 minutes.

No database. No frameworks. No plugins. No node_modules. No Composer. Just PHP, HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap from a CDN.

Here's the play-by-play and why I did it.

[Tony Perez @perezbox]

The one caveat: design. AI can structure pages and wire up functionality, but polished visual design isn't fully there yet. It's close, and frameworks like Astro are bridging the gap well. But that last mile of visual craft is still a human problem. For now.
