I've accidentally started a long discussion due to a small and fairly insignificant bug that turned out to be more than enough for several major theme authors, reviewers and theme lead devs to chime in and share their thoughts. I usually try to avoid those scenarios, but every now and then the tension needs to be released.
These are my obse...
Ever since high school, I have always been suspicious when it comes to the switch statement in programming. It is quite intuitive if you think about it, but in my opinion it has various limitations in some scenarios:
it's error-prone by missing a break; clause here and there
chaining cases isn't always intuitive to read, in addition to th...
I had some issues this month setting up locally several multisites on LAMP so I've decided to draft my complete flow for further use (and get other opinions on it as well).
The sites were different in nature, some were running on Apache, others - on nginx, running on subdomain or subfolder-related structure.
Placing the data and the databas...
We have attended the first WordCamp Europe in Leiden this weekend. It was great to meet so many WordPress people in Europe, including several amazing community people from the US, Australia, Asia and other great places.
I'm not sure what the official numbers say, but I guess more than 650 people were having fun in Leiden. Two days of talks,...
My latest post on contribution tips I learned from scribu was mostly influenced by his work on GitHub on projects such as WP-CLI or wp-posts-to-posts, and his setup over there. I also had a few related contribution-related posts before than (and several more to come in the next few months). Ajay commented on one of them asking for ...
If you have used WordPress for at least a few months, you have probably used a plugin by scribu or at least heard a discussion over one of the tools or plugins he is involved with.
Recently Cristi (scribu) announced his "retirement" from the WordPress industry and he's currently involved in just a few projects, mostly WP-CLI (which involve...
Recently I've been spending a lot of time poking others' projects. Since I have more time than I had while working full-time for an employer, I'm polishing more of my snippets and I've been busy with small enhancements that couldn't find a place in my long list before.
Additionally, I find myself sending more pull request than before and re...
Since I tend to forget when most WordPress dev chats are or pick wrong time zones instead, I set up a small weekly schedule with weekly IRC chats: http://devwp.eu/chats/
I got the schedules from the Make blogs and listed them with custom post type entries in a calendar. The handy thing is that one can control the timezone listing with a ...
I browse and read a lot (articles, code) on a daily basis, I tend to forget quickly due to the tons of data that passes through my head (I normally have about 5 windows with 20 Chrome tabs open each).
I read a great post by Brian Krogsgard on marketing WordPress products on Wed and I finally had the time to write a quick review. It's a gr...
According to my notes from the past 3 years I've seen many WordCamp organizers getting nervous and exhausted from organizing a WordCamp. Often the next WordCamp is organized by other community people and the main reason is actually the bad taste in mouth from organizing the previous event.
I tend to disagree with this and I'm writing a coun...
