Last day at current job.

First step in actually getting somewhere with personal projects: Create the feckin remote repo!

A screenshot of a conversation with Claude AI that shows the AI being wrong about the `empty` function in PHP. The user corrects the AI and the AI answers with the classic "You're right... blablabla" making it impossible to know if you are in fact right, since the AI was so confidently wrong a second earlier.

I sometimes ask Claude things I would previously search Stackoverflow for. But it fucken sucks sometimes.

Secretly recording and distributing private zoom calls without permission is like... Not cool.

I started building a cms that stores posts as markdown, users and settings in json files instead of database, and generates static html. I have no idea what I'm doing and it's fun!

I just cooked dinner. Does that mean it tasted bad? Did it taste good during the process of cooking it? My brain hurts.

Yeah that looks cool! Only hesitation I have is that since the tokens need to exist in theme.json also, generating the extra class kinda won't be necessary since the wp classes will be generated from theme.json... 🤔 still might be useful though! I think a plugin that generates theme.json would be 🔥

Perhaps this is plugin territory, since the wp theme.json needs to be populated with sizes, colors etc from the tokens for those options to be available in the wp editor.

Yes that looks clever! In wp there are controls in the editor to select bg/text color, spacing etc, that adds some wp specific class, like "wp-preset-text-color-red-500". So I would like to generate both my own "text-red-500" class (generated if used) and the wp-class (always generated).

@sugarcube.sh Is it possible to force generation of some utils regardless of their use in the markup? Would be awesome for wp themes where some classes are added in the editor and not always in the code. :D

Congrats! Very, very well deserved! @kevinpowell.co

Quick question though! Are any utils generated by default (if used in markup ofc)? Like the standard bg, color etc, or do all utils have to be defined in the config for any to be generated?

Yeah I got that far! 👍
I am a silly boy though. I realized now the utilities.gen.css wont generate unless I actually USE the utilities in the markup.
It works! This is the most valuable tool I've found in YEARS. Thank you!

Tried to get claude to explain how to integrate @sugarcube.sh into a wordpress/create-block (webpack) project. But of course, since it's "AI" it crapped the bed.

As an American citizen, saying the Pledge of Allegiance runs counter to American values. A free people do not pledge allegiance to the state, but rather the state pledges allegiance to its citizens.

Finally purchased #MindfulDesign by @scott.is! So excited!

Happy to have found a great use for my LinkedIn account; Posting links to all of the hilarious and horrifying examples of AI fuckups, to counteract all of the AI-hype.

The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents | Fortune Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath said older generations “screwed up” giving students access to so much technology: “I genuinely hope Gen Z quickly figures that out and gets mad.”

Now THAT's a headline.

Screenshot of a bluesky timeline with four consecutive posts/re-posts from 404media linking to the same article.

Is there a way to prevent this? @404media.co. Threaded skeets, reskeets of the same article. Great for visibility, but it gets a bit much?

I once put a 4 hour block titled AFK in my work calendar. I had no idea why I was supposed to be AFK.

When will an AI agent apply for a remote job, use a realistic avatar for the video interview, land the job and start pushing code without anyone realizing it's a slop machine? *shudders*

Whenever I try to uBlock annoying elements, generated class names are there to ruin my day.

A screenshot of a webpage titled "The Archibald Scale", subtitle: "A sensible temperature scale for sensible people" There's a four column table. Archibald, Celsius, Fahrenheit, Vibes Some highlights: 50, 18.9, 66, Perfect indoors 58, 21.9, 71.4, Room temperature 80, 30.2, 86.4, Beach temperature

I asked Claude for a conversion chart for the new Archibald scale

Perfect.

Yes! "Moving in" to a fresh xp install was the best!
