Hi 2026
It's been ~6 months since my last post. Everything is changing so rapidly that sometimes I feel I'm just reacting, and not reasoning (I believe this proves I'm not an AI). This behavior of the last few months is something I really want to change, especially for the upcoming months of the year.
The amount of learnings about myself, my brain, and how I operate in general don't fit in one post, and I'm still in the process of learning. Due to that, I don't plan…

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI models securely connect to real tools and data, kind of like a universal USB-C for AI. Instead of every model needing a custom integration, MCP makes those connections reusable and interoperable. Industry adoption is growing fast:
I just made this MTG card preview block using Telex. Pretty fun :)

Just created this MTG Card View block using Telex. It took me a few rounds of polishing to get it right, but this is looking pretty decent now. I used ChatGPT to craft this prompt: Create a Gutenberg block called “Magic Card” that displays detailed information about a selected *Magic: The Gath
It's been a while since I stopped caring about Arduino. Ever since I discovered other boards like ESP32 and SMT32, I've never looked back.

It's been a while since I stopped caring about Arduino. Ever since I discovered other boards like ESP32 and SMT32, I've never looked back. For personal projects and automation, those boards are my go-to. Today I saw on Techmeme that Qualcomm acquired Arduino. I doubt it's beneficial for Arduino and
Really solid write-up from the WooCommerce team on scaling performance (developer.woocommerce.com).

Really solid write-up from the WooCommerce team on scaling performance (developer.woocommerce.com). The part that stands out for me is the edge-caching work — lowering TTFB by moving cache layers closer to the user is a big win for any store where latency is often the hidden bottleneck. The long-
What could go wrong?
If I were to suggest an addition: perhaps a caveat/guidance for companies scaling from “office first” to “distributed first” — how to unlearn old habits (e.g. “everyone must be online from 9 to 5”), and how to coach managers who are uncomfortable giving up visibility and control. Because in many organizations, the hardest transformation is internal mindset. @mrfoxtalbot wrote a great post about the challenges a company can face when trying to move…

Communication is oxygen
If you ever find yourself scheduling cross-border meetings, writing for a global audience, or trying not to confuse someone in “summer” when it’s freezing where they are, @jobthomas wrote a really good post about inclusive comunication that you’ve got to check out. It’s a short but sharp read that highlights how little “local” assumptions (time zones, dates, seasons, slang) can unintentionally alienate people. It’s full of simple tips to help…

Block commenting, fun with Telex, from classic to block theme—Weekend Edition 341
Read onlineIssue #341 | September 20, 2025 Hi there, A month before Beta, is the time I get excited about a major release. Many new features—I see it all coming together via GitHub and Trac. The Source of Truth is in the works, but it will take a few more weeks to be published, as only when Release candidate 2 comes out I can be sure about what actually made it into the release.

This block took minutes. It took me longer to write the post than it did to ask Telex to make the block for me. I got exactly what I wanted in only two prompts!
This is the type of vibe coding I can enjoy, creating blocks for WordPress. I think the simple, specific use blocks are where this tool can really unlock creativity for writers and site builders. Telex is like your personal block assistant. #telex #telexai #wordpressai #wordpress
