so, why do you choose @wordpress?

if your AI product can be replaced by a good prompt to ChatGPT, you don't have a product. you have an expensive api call.

when AI gets so good that anyone can build software, what happens to software quality?

democratization is great until everyone's shipping mvps with no one maintaining them.

maybe there'll be an AI to clean up the mess.

DM me if you wanna try it/give feedback.

now that you can build an interesting prototype in hours, what's the last thing you built?

i'll go first: made a telegram ai nutritionist that logs meals and calls out my eating patterns (good, but especially bad).

your turn.

is building software finally democratized?

ai code generation actually feels like collaboration now, instead of fancy autocomplete.

stop bikeshedding on interfaces, build the intelligence first.

the ai tool race is so interesting because nobody can build a moat.

cursor today, claude code tomorrow, something else next week maybe. each are basically playing leapfrog.

pure product competition with almost zero switching costs.

Ridiculous Swings (with AI) I used to kill ideas before they had a real chance. Every spark of curiosity met the same mental gate: Is this worth…

build ten, ship one, trash nine.

Claude Code makes this cycle so fast i can afford to be ruthless about what actually matters.

ai doesn't make typos, but it absolutely makes terrible architectural decisions (if you let it run wild).

every startup pitch: 'Cursor for _______ '

on the context engineering train yet?

using @diabrowser, this may be the first time i consider switching my default browser.

i need these bookmarks to not look like an afterthought though.

it's risky move changing plan limits, especially without letting people know ahead of time.

the season of vc-subsidized AI tokens is closing fast. once you prove product-market fit, free lunch is over.

shipping ≠ done; it’s only the first draft for learning, iterating, refining.

how are you branding yourself? let's see your personal website.

add it below 👇

design is the differentiator now. for real.

what even counts as “good” code anymore?

zero duplication, passing tests, clear intent—what else makes the cut?

what tripped you up most when starting your last @wordpress site?

share, so we can fix them👇

anyone else still grabbing domain names for your kids?

don’t fake ux chops.

prompt ChatGPT (or any model) with your scenario, grab insights, and benchmark against proven patterns. too easy.

What Nobody Tells You About AI Coding

Nobody tells you that AI-augmented coding makes implementation skills abundant and strategic thinking priceless.

WordPress Contributors, Think Like a Designer Open source is beautiful. And open source is often messy. WordPress, with its global community of contributors, is no exception. We’re a passionate bunch, each…

you don’t need to be a designer to build great products—just think like one.

wordpress plugin(s) you can’t live without?

drop it below 👇

A hot pink electric pickup truck with a futuristic, angular design is parked on a paved surface under a clear blue sky. The truck has a matte finish, large black wheels, and a continuous LED light bar on the front.

my 9-year-old daughter: “when i grow up i’m driving a hot-pink cybertruck.”

me: ok queen, go get it.

anyone else record product reviews with ChatGPT advanced voice mode and draft them into issues? 🤫

haven’t googled a programming question in months… you?
