I’m not saying they’re not phenomenal and really exciting—it’s been a really long time since something truly unique and transgressive has shaken mainstream music—but I like them BECAUSE of where they came from.

“I’ve never heard anything like it”? Cool, hold my beer.

Is this one of those things where Gen Z didn’t notice that Gen X got there first?

I can name at least five other bands that used microtonal scales and weird time signatures that all existed before 2010 off the top of my head.

So I legit like @anginedepoitrine.bsky.social (at least from everything I have heard so far) but y’all that are breathlessly saying that you’ve never heard anything like them before…y’all know math rock existed before them, right?

The CMS is dead. Long live the CMS. I saw a post on LinkedIn the other day from a self-proclaimed 20 year agency veteran of WordPress saying that was it, they’re moving the entire agency off of WordPress and onto AI. Now, because I, too, am a 20 year veteran of WordPress, this kind of story catches my attention. He posted that they […]

I really like Warp. 😅

I think this is the better way to work, though. (Almost) everything I need is in one place. And since I can have multiple tabs open in Warp, I can be simultaneously monitoring different projects. And honestly, I'm probably not even using all of Warp's tools like I could be.

I guess all this to say

The only time I use VS Code now is if I need to search across the codebase. In practically all other contexts, I'm just using Warp for everything. The only thing I miss is multi-cursor/multi-select support. (I hope it's coming 😉 @warp.dev.)

It's weird not operating out of so many different apps.

90% of the time, I no longer even need VS Code. I can see all my files in the file browser and edit them directly. Warp renders markdown natively. When what I'm doing is reviewing Claude Code and making simple text changes, almost everything I do now is just inside Warp. (So, good job @warp.dev!)

...visualizing my commits and managing merge conflicts.

Since starting to dig into Claude Code, the size of my terminal window has gotten larger and larger. I now fullscreen it.

This might seem weird, why fullscreen a text editor?

Because Warp includes a built-in IDE and file browser.

Warp: The Agentic Development Environment Warp is the platform for agentic development — a modern terminal and cloud agent platform used by 700K+ developers at leading enterprises. Explore docs, features, pricing, and more.

Can I just express how my development workflow/open windows has shifted dramatically over the past month?

A lot of it (but not ALL of it) has to do with Claude Code.

Previously, I would have a terminal window (I've been using Warp for a long time www.warp.dev/)...

Things I’ve learned from a year of doing circus It’s just about a full year since I finally gathered up the courage to don short shorts and tights, expose parts of my body that are so white you’d need sunglasses against the glare, and flip myself upside down using only the power of my actual human muscles. And I’m still here, still doing it. […]

It's been about a year since I drummed up the courage to go to my first aerials class. Here's some stuff I learned along the way.

The WP Community Collective on feeding humans into the boiler This is a first for Community + Code: a full board meeting (almost), on the podcast. For this special Podcastathon episode, I sat down with three of my fellow WP Community Collective board members — Courtney Robertson, Sé Reed, and Jono Alderson — to talk about something I care about deeply and probably doesn’t get discussed […]

Four WordPress nerds walk into a Podcastathon. All of them are on the board of a nonprofit trying to fix how open source contribution works. One of them is me.

Disclosing AI use This is based on a thread that I posted to Bluesky that I decided to keep here for posterity. If you want to discuss on Bluesky, follow me at @jazzsequence.com and let’s chat.

I wrote a thread on AI and then i turned that thread into a post where I added some more thoughts.

important to disclose how I am using AI for the pod and how I'm not. So, here's my AI Disclosure on Community + Code. I don't have all the answers. But I'm trying to find a middle ground where we can be informed and conscientious about how and where AI is used.

without any real fanfare on the @communitycode.dev site.

Previously, I had written an AI disclosure and sort of hid it on the Privacy Page. I didn't _intentionally_ hide it. But as I started creating skills and recipes for Claude to do more with the management of the show, I decided it was ...

They want to be able to opt out. They want an understanding of where their data is going. They want to know where the humans live in the equation.

the underlying problem, we're just creating tools to do EVEN MORE WORK with fewer people. AI didn't create the problem. It's also not a solution, it's a band-aid.

People don't want AI shoved down their throats. They don't want AI in their fridge (probably). They don't want it turned on by default..

I don't assume that AI is something that everyone wants or needs. I use it in my work because in my role, I feel like I need to split my brain in many different pieces to do my job. That ties into US-based tech hustle culture which is not great, either. AI accelerates that. Rather than solving...

Let's talk about AI.
I've been using it a lot recently.
It's not that I don't see or care about the environmental impact, the human/social impact. I do. I strongly believe that we need regulatory bodies to apply rules and guidelines around how AI is used. But regulation moves slow and needs...

Teaching an AI to Read My Website (Over MCP) For the last couple weeks, I’ve been building a headless Next.js frontend for this site — a project I’ve been calling jazz-nextjs. The idea is straightforward enough: keep WordPress as the content management layer (where I actually like writing) while serving the public-facing site through a modern React frontend hosted on Pantheon’s Next.js infrastructure. What’s […]

I spent way too long debugging why Claude Code wouldn't register WordPress MCP tools. The culprit? `enum` and `default` in JSON Schema. Zero error messages. Here's the full story of building the stdio proxy and getting 66 native tools working. 🧵
