  • One does not simply update one’s dependencies

    2025-04-04

    I started trying to explain what I was doing and why, and as I did so I realised all the many, many things you have to understand for this process to make sense.

  • WordPress REST API Auth nonces in POST requests

    2024-08-11

    If you're using a script that uses cookie authentication with the WordPress REST API then you may also need a nonce. Here's how to make this work!

  • Friction

    2024-07-09

    I want to talk (again) about friction. Things that slow us down. How some friction is good, and some is bad.

  • npm-free LiveReload(ish): Simple scripts for asset watching and auto-reload in the browser

    2024-03-02

    A super simple asset-watching script and "LiveReload" functionality. All fitting with my values. Let's see what it looks like!

  • Weekend Project: Simple notes app

    2024-01-14

    I can't use any of my favourite note-taking apps at work. But I can use a web browser and I can write JavaScript. The logical conclusion is, of course, that I should build my own!

  • I made a(nother) static site generator

    2023-12-31

    2023-08-19

    I now have a process that gets me small, fast, side-project websites for virtually zero cost. Let's see how it works...

  • I’m tired of web dev

    2023-07-02

    The web used to be fun and simple and easy to get stuff done with. Now it's discovering that someone who doesn't know what they were doing used a div instead of a button and fixing it involves half a day of frustratedly poking around files that make no sense and fixing a broken build process.

  • Turbo Admin and the WordPress Command Centre

    2023-05-22

    The experimental "command center" is coming to WordPress core. What do I think of it? And what does it mean for my own "command palette" product, Turbo Admin?

  • Oh gosh. I’m actually writing a post about AI.

    2023-03-19

    WOW! I made a properly "magic method" WordPress plugin that allows you to just write a function name, and have that function created for you by an AI. It just works! (Some of the time).
