Experimenting with local open source AI models using Ollama and the WP AIÂ Client
I've been spending quite a bit of time digging into the WordPress AI Client and PHP AI Client as part of my research for a blog post on the WordPress Developer blog. While working on my demo code for the post, I wondered if it would be possible to use these clients with local AI models. At the time of this writing, Google is the only model provider that offers an API Key on a free tier, and I'm pretty sure that will go away soon.

What the future of software development could look like
I drafted this blog post in May of 2025, but never got around to publishing it. Recently, the creator of Node.js posited that "the era of humans manually writing code is officially over." So I thought I'd share my thoughts on what I think the future of software development could look like. I sit down in front of my PC, coffee in hand, open my personal AI chat client (let's call him Bob), and let Bob know which project I'm working on today.

Life at Automattic: I will never stop learning.
One of the things that I discovered when I joined Automatic is that we have this amazing professional development benefit, and this covers a wide variety of things. There are courses and learn ups you can take within the company, you can expense books and learning courses. But the one thing that really, really worked or impacted, or benefited, or has benefited me over the last few years is our coaching benefit.
