Ever get annoyed with how if your agency uses Slack for everything, but you've got one or two clients that use Microsoft Teams internally, so you can't do a shared channel and communication breaks down? I'm working on solving that problem, open source. github.com/georgestephanis/s…

Anyway, it's not a hosted system, you'll need to run it yourself, and there may still be bugs, but *waves hands* be free.

Finally getting to see Nathan Lane and @rogerbartoffic together in The Frogs at the NYPL's Theater and Film on Tape Archives. Ugh wish I could put words to what a delight this is. I've been waiting for years to see this, and it's hysterical.

I have literally been obsessed with the soundtrack for twenty years. And as one of Sondheims lesser loved works, it's probably never going to get the revival that it probably should. So many puns. I love it.

Also, for what it's worth, I think a lot of the people who just ran out of their requests this month on Copilot in like ... a day, may not have realized how the model pricing has shifted.

Its default options? Now they're priced at 6x and 9x when I look. So if you leave it on "Auto" it'll give you a 10% discount of the jacked up rates. For smaller stuff? Pick a smaller or older model! It'll run for a fraction of the cost. Or play with local models.

From what I recall in previous months, the big ones were priced at 1x instead of the current 6-9x. I wonder if the rates drop in off-peak hours as well.

Just landed in WordPress plugin repo: something I've been working on for months, and have had in mind for 10+ years. Imagine never having to ask a client what they mean by 'broken'. Imagine never having to onboard them to a project management platform. wordpress.org/plugins/alpaca…

Wanna see some of the cool stuff WordPress 7.0's LLM Connectors can do? github.com/BigOrangeLab/bol-… I built this for something else, but realized it'd be a fun proof of concept to use them to quickly generate translations for bits of content.

I've been working with vLLM for local models, tying WordPress in with those instead of the big commercial hosts -- but Ollama or LM Studio are both great options as well. WordPress Playground preview link's available on the repo to give it a try!

Also, if you're suspicious of LLMs ability to translate between languages? Yeah, same. But it's 1) a cool demo of the technology, 2) better than nothing, and 3) easy to manually edit and correct afterwards.

Dear humans who make wordpress themes: If you're going to `position:sticky` your header nav in WordPress, please also give it `top: var( --wp-admin--admin-bar--height, 0px );` -- so it doesn't render /underneath/ the wp adminbar. <3

Last week GoDaddy moved a 27-year-old domain from my friend's account to a stranger who never submitted a single document. They used an email signature to identify the parent domain and just transferred it. Here's the full story: anchor.host/godaddy-gave-a-d…

We (@daljo628 @konstruktors and many more ) are working to get two-factor ready to start a new attempt and get it into core! Any feedback, review on the plugin directory help us get further. See wordpress.org/plugins/two-fa…

Fun fact: WP-CLI eval-file silently fails when any single line exceeds ~4096 bytes (fgets buffer limit in WP-CLI 2.12 on PHP 8.4). When doing agentic work that doesn't really use line breaks in files that it's passing to wp-cli, it's ... uhhh ... worth being aware of.

EmDash needs to release a "Dark Mode." And call it EmoDash. "it's not a phase, mom"

So, uhhh, I did a thing. github.com/georgestephanis/p… After a quick prototype and talking to some other @automattic alums, we seemed to look fondly back on our history with P2's, and the current version of O2+P2-Breathe from 2014 is a /bit/ dated and tricky to self-host.

OH RIGHT! And you can try it out in WordPress Playground with a single click from the repo. Neat, huh?
