🧠 What’s New? WordPress 6.8 now lets you make your menus accessible through the REST API without needing users to log in.

The pace of AI is wild. Every day, there’s a new tool, a new breakthrough, a new trend. It’s exciting—but it’s also chaotic. And as someone creating content in this space, I’ve started to notice a real tension: As someone who’s been right in the middle of this shift—making YouTube videos like Is This the…

I’ve been deep in vibe coding lately—those rare, electric sessions where the ideas are clear, the code flows, and building feels effortless.

WordPress 6.8 (coming soon!) will include a behind-the-scenes improvement that helps your website load faster. It’s called speculative loading, but don’t worry about the technical name — here’s what it means in simple terms: When someone visits your website, they often click around — maybe going from your homepage to a blog post or a…

If you're running a headless WordPress setup — where WordPress manages your content but a separate frontend handles the display — the REST API is what connects the two. It gives you structured access to both posts and pages via JSON, so you can build completely custom frontends using React, Vue, Next.js — or even…

For decades, programming languages have balanced human readability and machine efficiency, allowing developers to write, debug, and collaborate on complex systems. However, as AI advances, human-readable code is becoming less necessary. The future of programming is shifting toward AI-generated, machine-optimized code that is efficient—but barely interpretable by humans. 1. The Evolution of Code: From Human…

PootlePhotos prioritizes security through a direct device-to-WordPress architecture that eliminates middleman servers where breaches could occur. Your photos never touch our servers—they travel directly from your device to your WordPress site over HTTPS.

The startup world, that frenetic arena of venture capital and audacious ideas, has produced another “disruptor.” This time, it’s Lovable.dev, and they’re growing at an astonishing rate. Frankly, it’s enough to make a seasoned observer raise an eyebrow. I mean, seriously, $4 million ARR in four weeks? Ten million in two months? One might wonder…

There’s a lot of confusion about whether YouTube Shorts impact the performance of long-form videos. Officially, YouTube states that the two content formats operate independently within their algorithm. However, in my experience, I’ve seen poor-performing Shorts negatively affect engagement on longer videos. Let’s break down why this happens and what you can do to prevent…

Introduction This week, I set myself a challenge: testing the most talked-about AI video tools I keep seeing on my X feed. My goal? To find out if they’re truly capable of creating high-quality promotional videos. TL;DR: Despite all the hype, I still haven’t found an AI video tool that I’d confidently use to promote…

Introduction I built a fully functional, beautifully designed personal website in just two hours—and I didn’t have to sweat the technical stuff. All I had to do was tell Loveable.dev’s AI what I wanted, and it took care of the heavy lifting. It made all the key technical decisions, from choosing the right stack to…

Introduction Since its inception, the web has been built on a document-based model—a system of interlinked pages designed for reading and referencing. For over 30 years, we’ve refined this approach, adding layers of interactivity while still fundamentally treating websites as collections of documents. But that model is now breaking down. The web is shifting away…

Honestly—most companies are terrible at YouTube. They pour money into high-production videos that nobody watches, treat it like a dumping ground for promotional content, and then wonder why their channel isn’t growing. If that sounds familiar, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Most businesses fail on YouTube because they approach it completely backwards. Instead of thinking like…
