100 free development hours
Send me a problem your business is struggling with. If I pick it, I’ll put at least 100 development hours into producing a solution for it.
WP-CLI v1.2.0 released. Notably, a bootstrap refactor and brand new logo. But, refactoring always introduces bugs, so WP-CLI v1.2.1 was released today.
10 advanced WP-CLI tricks
Adapted from my VIP Workshop presentation last week, which may have been my favorite presentation of all time. It was probably the GIFs.
Three new experimental life hacks I’m instituting today:
- Waiting until 6 am to begin working. For a while now (year or more), I’ve been waking up anywhere between 3:30 and 4:30, and diving right into work. Needless to say, this is a recipe for sleep deprivation during the week. By forcing myself to wait until 6 am to work, I’m (hopefully) forcing myself to sleep another 45 to 60 minutes.
- Only using Slack through the web browser. Rather than follow every community all the time, I’m only going to open each Slack organization as it’s relevant to what I’m working on. As far as distractions go, Slack is the new Twitter.
- Using Focus to limit access to distracting websites and apps. I probably should’ve done this a while back. I’d much rather have 7.5 really productive hours in the day, than 10 moderately productive ones.
I’m working on a new project (the kind you wake up at 3 am to hack on). It’s called Bylines, a modern multi-author publishing plugin for WordPress.
MVP is a reincarnation of Co-Authors Plus. From there, I plan to iterate on a feature set relevant to the multi-author publishing workflow.
If this sounds useful to you, sign up to be notified when Bylines is ready for early-access users.
New co-maintainer: Alain Schlesser. WP-CLI welcomes its second maintainer, thanks to the support of our 2017 sponsors.
Running is my favorite time for thinking
Tonight’s achievement: I reprogrammed the exterior garage keypad. It only took 45 minutes. And a pro tip: make sure you’re reading the correct user manual.
