A WordPress Book Club
—
At a previous job, we had an engineering book club. Once a week we would meet and discuss a chapter of a book. It was a good opportunity to hear multiple perspectives on an author’s work, to see who agreed with the author and where people thought the author was off-base. I would like to…

My First Experience with Vibe Coding – WordPress Core Commit Search
—
“Database is locked” It’s a message that anyone who has been working on WordPress Core long enough has seen. While it’s considerably less prevalent that it once was, it hasn’t fully disappeared.
