Weak Notes — The Everything Feed
• Quoting readbeanicecream
This is my very first post. Yay!
The website is still under construction. I’ve added a Categories link where posts are grouped by category; and an Archive link where posts are grouped and sorted (newest first) by date. Both of which can be found on the top right navigation area of the website.
I’m also going to add a few more social links so if anyone is interested in reaching me elsewhere, they will have that option.
This post is categorized as “demo” since it doesn’t really contain anything other than meta-content. Hopefully I’m going to deliver a meaningful article soon!
In my homelab I now have a few machines that run NixOS. This came to be because I wanted the ability to quickly rebuild machines from scratch without having to fiddle with individual settings. Thanks to NixOS I now have a repository that holds a flake that can build bootable images and perform remote nixos-rebuild switch.

Not actually things that are random.
Last week I released a new toolkit that includes docs for your AI programming partner. Ask it to read the docs, and then tell it about the editor you want. It works with WordPress sites via the wpcom API via the wpIdentity server. A new frontier. ;-)
The people who call themselves Mets fans who are sad when the Mets don't make the playoffs are really Yankees fans.

If I were running WordPress, my first priority would be to get something exciting out that even non-WordPress users would find exciting and worth talking about. Then do it again. Ideally it would be something that reporters would like, that they could see themselves using. As you know, my Big Idea is give people choice of editors, for writers. But I just thought of a technical thing they could do and might make no sense, but how about running Claude skills. So anything a Claude app can do a WordPress plugin can do. I just built my first skill, and they can be Node.js apps. That's a pretty broad range of features you can support inside WordPress. Also ask users to tell you what would turn them on. Couldn't hurt, sometimes they have ideas that you as a developer never would think of. I made a few million dollars from an idea a user gave me once. Not kidding.
