Hey again ✌️ It’s been a while since I posted one of these lists. Shortly after the last one, my motivation & energy kind of tanked and I started to feel burned out and just didn’t feel like it. Fortunately, saying no to almost everything for two months worked wonders to get back on track […]

For the past week or so, I gave Claude.ai a try and wanted to see how I could use it for a variety of practical tasks in my daily workflows. Here's what I found, so far.

Hi I spent this week dabbling with some custom block development for picu, where we want to replace our old shortcode to display a list of galleries with a custom block. I’m still far from feeling at home in react, but I finally made some progress and got the basics working this week. Also, the […]

Hi I finally found new glasses after having had a pair that were not fitting for a few months now, which really started to annoy me. Really looking forward to pick them up later today! Other than that, we were busy working on our new website for picu, which was in the works for a […]

Hello ✌️ The last weeks have been pretty exhausting. Too many (simultaneous) things that I said yes to, things happening in our kids life as well as lots of other ideas and things going on work-wise – nothing too crazy actually, but just too much at the same time. By the end of last week […]

Hello 👋 Unfortunately, the front conference – which would have happened next week in Zurich – had to be cancelled because not enough tickets were sold. It’s sad that so many great conferences seem to be having the same struggles to keep afloat. Marc Thiele wrote about it as well in the “State of Events” […]

Hi Before diving into what I’ve read this week, here’s a lovely quote I just read: Serve markup. Not too much. Progressively Enhanced. Alex Russell @slightlyoff@toot.cafe It’s an adaptation of this famous quote by Michael Pollan about food, and I love it about as much as the original. Frontend Development 🤬 A Rant about Front-end […]

Hi there ✌️ Already three weeks since we are back home after three fantastic weeks in Italy. I finally found some time to sort through my reading list of the past few weeks. A lot has happened since we’re back. We started a new little dev-log blog for picu, where we share things we’re working […]

Hi 👋 As I write this, I’m sitting in the train to Milano, Italy where we stay for a few nights before taking a train further south for some much needed beach-time with the family for another week before moving up again to Turin for WordCamp Europe. Really looking forward to be traveling again and […]

Hey lovely WordPress People 👋 It’s only a few days left until WordCamp Europe 2024 is about to happen in Torino, Italy. We’ll be traveling through Italy with the family for some combined vacation/work trip starting next week and will be in Torino from the 11th through to the 17th of June. I would love […]

Hello Apart from some small-ish client tasks, I was working mostly on our new Website for picu, which I think is coming together pretty nicely! With only one week left until I leave Switzerland for our first stop – Milano – it was also time to plan ahead for our stay at the WordCamp Europe […]
