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” […]

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 […]
