A very well-written and insightful article about the current state of responsibility in AI-assisted coding and code management.

I listened to a large number of these when they were initially published, and I can highly recommend them. Wonderful stuff.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a non-Apple 5K display? Preferably between 27 and 32 inches.

Someone with contacts at Kadence has confirmed that the change is official, but that it has not been communicated in advance. (FYI @mikehindle.uk.)

Solid WP is now redirecting to Liquid Web / Kadence with no warning and no reference to another rebranding. Has anyone seen anything about this?

WTF of the day: if you're using Gravity Forms in WordPress, some fields might have a custom field validation message "We need to know your name. What if we wanted to send you a birthday cake?". This was removed from the code in Feb. 2025 but might still be in your database.

Kevin McCloud is now working with #WordPress clients, I see.

I think everyone who thinks that it is no longer necessary to understand software engineering principles because of AI should spend a few minutes every day browsing /r/vibecoding. It's so so clear that technical skills are still worthwhile.

Silicon Macs running macOS 26 (Tahoe) ship with a built-in on-device LLM, but it’s locked behind Swift APIs with no terminal or HTTP access. apfel breaks it open, exposing the model as a CLI tool, an OpenAI-compatible HTTP server, and an interactive chat.

I find it bizarre when such comparisons come about; in this case, where we're reminded how comparatively young the web was at the time.

I really need to practise cooking big curved bratwurst in a pan so that they cook more evenly on the outside. Thinking of trying the steam-sear approach with some beer next time. Thanks for any suggestions, “cooking Bluesky”.

I’ve been building a tool for simple financial projections. Things like: • Could I afford to go part-time? • Should I downsize? • What if I overpay my mortgage vs invest more in a pension? Scratching my own itch, but it’s turning into something that might help others too. Hoping to share it soon.

I've been unemployed for a few months. I now set myself pretend jobs to prevent the rot setting in. My son thinks this guy is funny, which is a good enough excuse to make something. Any requests?

I was perusing my own website this week and noticed that, at some point, the blog posts which contain an old ACF field of gallery images were no longer showing the images (because I'd omitted the output from the block theme). So I fixed it: an example is permanenttourist.ch/2009/02/choo....

I have an old iMac at home and a Macbook Air for work, which I dock when I'm in the office. I've just found out that if I have the Macbook connected to the same wifi network at home, I can move my mouse between the two freely. The Bluetooth keyboard works on whichever device has mouse focus. 😮

@elliottrichmond.co.uk Do you mind me asking whether you still use Claude Code? I've taken it for a spin with a Pro account and am very impressed, but I've used up my allowance within 45 minutes' code fixing. For the same price, Copilot + ChatGPT 5 mini does me for a whole month.
