Creating a Block with Cursor AI
I’ve been trying to figure out what the best approach to getting the most productivity out of AI-assisted coding in Cursor. Some things work jaw-droppingly well. Others create a rabbit hole of inexplicable coding failures that are more trouble than they are worth to debug and make work. Here’s a very simple example of something…

The Current Site Versioning Plan
I was thinking about my current plan for keeping track of lots of slightly variant iterations of a baseline WordPress site blueprint, and it hit me. Duh. Disk space doesn’t cost much. You can rack up dozens of terabytes of storage without maxing out your credit card. Indeed, this is almost the definition of what…

AI Coding and Context
It’s clear that the way to get code “as if you’d coded it yourself” is to include your coding in the context that your LLM is using. Cursor, which I’ve been experimenting with of late, gives you several layers of potential customized context, and I finally found a few minutes to explore how this works.…

Salute Your Cursor AI Overlords
I’m not sure yet, but I’m pretty close to sure that AI can’t do anything genuinely complicated when it comes to writing code. Or, more accurately, it’s happy to do immensely complicated code creation, but most of the complex stuff doesn’t work and is more trouble than it’s worth to fix. But a recent return…

Client variation management
A key capability PeakZebra needs to develop moving forward is something that, strangely, doesn’t quite exist in WordPress. The capability: completely manage revision control across entire sites (that is, anything at all that changes on a site) and be able to scale to do it across a large number of sites (several thousand, say). At…

Slots to Slotfill, Callbacks to Call
So, one key challenge to tackle is managing changes to individual PeakZebra deployments without creating variants that can’t be merged back together. My initial thought was the WordPress slotfill capability, probably because I was aware of it but didn’t know all that much about it. I did a little poking around, enough to realize that…

The WordPress Version Control Divide
I was checking out a podcast video by Brian Coords when I hit upon an exchange that both outlined the difference between a developer/workflow-based approach and a more traditional WordPress approach to managing changes on websites. What I love about this conversation is that both interlocutors are obviously not only smart, but smart about WordPress.…
