I’ve never done a full demo video for Turbo Admin before.

That is changing!!

If you really want to see all the ways my tool makes the WordPress admin better, hold tight!! It’s coming!!!

I’m on DadOps for a few days as it’s school holidays.

We have virtually no plans.

Expect randomness.

First up:

I swear… I SWEAR… that the “Play” button in my podcast app somehow summons a child with a request. EVERY! TIME!!

It’s a magic child-summoning button.

And yet. I bet if I ever used it to try and summon a child, they would stubbornly remain in place.

Two major things that bother me about all this generative AI:

1. It could go away at any moment. I’m certain it won’t. But it’s remote and under someone else’s control. Fine. Use it. But don’t become dependent on it!

2. I see it being used for things that a simpler, deterministic system could do better and more cheaply. Code refactoring. Data analysis. Stuff like that. Seems crazy to use non-deterministic, generative tech for that.

Yes! I did Connections on “Hard Mode”! Backwards order and no errors.

One does not simply update one’s dependencies!

Is there some weird virus going round where the only symptom is lethargy/tiredness?

I’ve had this two days this week. No fever. No headache. No cold symptoms. Just… extreme bleaugh and sleepiness and brain fog.

Feels like we NEED a bit of frivolous fun right now. More than ever. And people are doubling down on eliminating it all.

Can we not just all groan along with the forced and obvious bad jokes? Is that just what we need? No? Am I missing something?

I’m genuinely curious. Why do people hate April Fools Day so much? And is there a reason I should too that I don’t know about?

I’ve find it genuinely fun finding all the tricks and have seen some excellent marketing in there too.

The Worldle was just excellent.
