Stupid thing…

Yesterday I realised that you can't burp in space. And that fizzy drinks would be VERY weird.

I also note that this is slightly incomplete. But I wanted to write it up and get it out there!! Hooray!!

DO NOT RUN THIS CODE!!! It’s dangerous and stupid and you accept all risk.

But if you want magically-created, AI-generated #WordPress functions like:

WPAI::get_all_post_types();

then here's the code to do it:

And a write up:

Here's my #WordPress AI code generator ALMOST doing magic post/taxonomy/ACF field registration for me. SO close!!

A moment of self-awareness.

I’ve now tinkered with generative code AI APIs.

And I find myself in the position of thinking: “I’m not entirely happy with this technology existing, but I’ve played with it, and it’s really fun!”

Which is where most people started with crypto and NFT’s.

😬

Does this mean I'm an AI-hacking tech-bro now? Oh no!!! What did I do‽

It’s worth saying that this is REALLY FRICKIN DANGEROUS!!

And VERY much inspired by Caleb Porzio.

Current status: had a crazy idea. Now using AI to write code to interface with an AI.

WHAT AM I DOING?!

I was NEVER convinced about Web 3/Crypto. But this generative AI stuff isn’t gonna go away is it? I can’t see how this stops being present technology now.

I bought a monochrome HP Laserjet I-don’t-know-how-many years ago. It’s reliable, cheap to run, clean, quiet and efficient.

If I want photos printed I’ll go to a photo print shop. If I want colour stationary printed I’ll go to a local print shop.

One of the best tech decisions I ever made!

Here's how web browsing goes sometimes:

– Let's go change the date of those theatre tickets
– Need my password, open 1Password
– Hey, someone said that 1Password did something that I didn't think it did
– Open 1Password settings
– Oh, look, browsers have a built in interface for keyboard shortcuts for extensions. How does THAT work?
– Cool – works on both Chromium and Firefox and…
– Wait.. what was I doing?

Are there, like, DIY courses for teenagers. Because I really want my kids to have more skills than I do with this stuff. 😬

Ooooh! Just randomly chatting and came up with the super-retro-cool idea of a fax machine that receives via an email address that I can send selected email newsletters to and have them printed out when they arrive.

SOMEONE DO THIS!!!!

(They have, haven't they? Someone already did it?)

I'm also getting the "search modes" to show in the palette. This is kinda tricky, but I like it!

Working on Turbo Admin's keyboard shortcuts for #WordPress list-table navigation. Got the action links working! There's even shortcuts to focus the search input and to do pagination!!

Not guaranteed to work everywhere, but hopefully nice for some keyboard warriors!

So I tried to build Turbo Admin for Safari and what happened?

It crashes Safari every time! 🤣

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Or even how to start debugging.

Do people actually look at React and then at Vue or Alpine or Svelte and think: Yeah, I’ll choose React please?

I really don’t get it.

You have to do SO much stuff yourself.
