How we made registry metadata 70% smaller | vlt /vōlt/

Package managers download megabytes of package metadata on every clean install. Here is how vlt.io serves the same installs at a fraction of the size.

"why do you still draw if AI can do it for you?" "why would you still assemble a PC" because some things I do for fun, creative outlets, and flow state I use AI to make my life easier, not to replace the joy

Ollie Pro just got a major update with canvas design tools and support for the latest WordPress 7.1 features. 💥 Here is a quick walkthrough of visual padding handles, a huge new icon set, and native responsive controls in action.

Design faster with these new Ollie features!

Worked on some view transitions with my agent to smooth-out some janky animations. Once we got it perfect it said "enjoy the butter!" Finally, we can agree on something 🧈 ✨

Been super impressed with the user experience of @EventKoi but also the very-intentional approach it takes to extend WordPress -- think it's paving a road many will follow!

The US labor force is a living, breathing map. 🇺🇸 Watch the number of counties with labor forces in structural decline spread like a virus across America between 2010 and 2025. Shout out to @JMBDaecius for the idea to do this. #Economics #LaborForce #Trends

Crossed a pretty satisfying personal milestone today about 20 months in the making: 24 doses of vaccines to retrain my immune system to be resilient in the modern world post-transplant. Very glad to be done with arm punches for a while, very grateful and fortunate to get them.

I’ve spent over a decade helping others learn to develop, create plugins, and extend #WordPress. But I’d never actually published my own plugin. That changed last week with something that drew me to contributing to the WP Training Team & #LearnWP years ago. courtneyr.dev/2025/12/03/pos…
