I use multiple AI coding tools. Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode. They each give access to different models, and I switch between them depending on what I need. I want them all to follow the same project instructions. That shouldn’t be complicated. It is. AGENTS.md was supposed to fix this. One Markdown file, no special syntax, […]

There’s a narrative that keeps coming up in discussions about AI: that it’s all built on theft. That the models powering Claude, Cursor and others were trained on open source code without permission. That developers never consented to having their work scraped and fed into these systems. I get it. And yes, there’s something uncomfortable […]

There’s an interesting contradiction in how we talk about AI. There’s panic on one side. AI is coming for our jobs. Developers will be obsolete. The robots are taking over. On the other side: people casually trying to get AI to generate a thousand startup ideas, register the domains, build landing pages, and deploy them. […]

The role of software developers is changing. Not gradually, not theoretically. But right now. And it’s happening faster than most of us expected. For years, our value was in writing code. Understanding syntax, knowing the quirks of languages and frameworks, translating requirements into working software. That’s shifting. The value is moving from writing syntax to […]

There’s something about the version number 1.0 that feels significant. It’s just a version number, a label, a tag in a git repository. But it carries weight. It says: this is ready. This is stable. This is something you can rely on. For years, I avoided it. Mozart has been running in production environments since […]

Every software project is built on layers of other people’s work. Libraries, packages, tools — most of them invisible, all of them essential. There’s a good chance your project depends on code written by someone you’ve never heard of. Someone who doesn’t work for a big company. Someone who maintains their project in the evenings, […]

It’s no surprise that I do not necessarily agree with everything going on in the WordPress ecosystem. I’ve been vocal about a lot of the crap going on around the whole debate with WP Engine. But at the end of the day, I still work with WordPress for a large amount of my working hours […]

Well, shit. I didn’t expect the events unfolding last week, that ultimately were mainly hurting the end users of the WordPress software, would be the end of it all. But this whole dispute between Automattic and WP Engine has been cranked up a notch over the last couple days. And that is the biggest understatement […]

A lot has been said and written on the whole dispute between the WordPress project and WP Engine. In this post, I am not going to describe the issue, as there are far more reputable sources available, for example: “Automattic Responds to WP Engine’s Cease and Desist with Legal Action” over on WP Tavern.
