I can't believe that WooCommerce is free! You can literally sell millions of dollars worth of products without paying a dime other than credit card fees.

I hope more writers will consider hosting their words on an open source platform and not falling for the fake 'network effects' of a social network pretending to be a CMS. Great breakdown of the differences here: wordpress.com/blog/2025/07/2…

As more laws like the UKs Online Safety Act roll out across the world, relying on connection location to serve relevant content isn't going to be reliable anymore given everyone will be using VPNs.

As more people adopt VPN usage because of sweeping national mandates. More irrelevant ads, content and currencies will be served to users which companies are paying for. I'm interested to see what/if anything happens. codebytom.blog/2025/08/12/loc…

People are using LLMs to write more posts faster, without realising the real time saved comes from how quickly people are understanding what you're saying. Use AI to write less, not more.

It finally happened. I've got a giant merge conflict and both sides were vibe coded and I don't recognize either. Now I'm vibe merging the conflicts too

Some of the biggest companies in the world use Django, but the project's budget is comparable to a single bay-area engineer's salary. If your company uses Django, please ask them to donate! It's a great way to say thanks, and really helps keep the framework going.
