Agent Skills install as loose folders. There's no npm, no registry, no daemon checking for updates. I shipped a new version of a skill and realized I had no way of telling the users still running the old one. So I taught the skills to notice — and then to update themselves.
In 2008 I wrote "WordPress SEO: the definitive guide." Eighteen years later, this is the Astro version. The full SEO stack: linked JSON-LD graphs, per-collection sitemaps, auto-generated OG images, IndexNow, schema endpoints for agent discovery, and why keyphrase optimization matters less than you think.
I've been arguing that the next open web needs machine-readable architecture. So I built a piece: seo-graph, a schema.org JSON-LD graph engine that now powers four sites and a CMS plugin. Built in a single session with Claude Code.
WordPress's deepest problems aren't cosmetic, they're architectural. The responses to EmDash from Matt Mullenweg, Hendrik Luehrsen, and Brian Coords crystallize what needs to change: the data model, content storage, and plugin permissions.
Cloudflare just launched EmDash, a CMS designed for how we actually build in 2026: AI agents, structured content, edge deployment. Here's why it matters.

The news hit the developer community like a cold bucket of water. Adam Wathan, the creator of Tailwind CSS, recently announced that he had to lay off 75% of his
In my last post, I discussed why a design system is the “visual rail” AI needs. But the “Architect” I’ve been describing doesn’t just care about how a site look
In my last post, I argued that WordPress needs to become a “Base AI”: a structured foundation that AI can understand and build upon. Before that, I wrote about
In my previous post, I discussed the demise of code copyright and mentioned what Dries referred to as the generalization tax. This had me thinking more about wh
We are witnessing a strange paradox in software development. Thanks to AI code generation, more open source code is being created today than ever before. Yet, s
AVIF and WebP are efficient image storage formats. They are smaller than their predecessors, PNG, JPG, and GIF. This leads to smaller images, which means faster
I always like it when I right-click a logo on a website because I need to get the logo, and the site’s designer has thought about this. If you right-click on th
Note: this plugin has received a ton of updates since its inception. It’s now been moved to Progress Planner, where the team there (including myself) are develo

The simple things make life easy. One of them is WhatsApp. And more specifically: customer service through WhatsApp. I love it when companies offer WhatsApp sup
After my blog post about healthy GitHub repositories, I learned that many people didn’t know how to create .github repositories and what you can do with those.
As a result of investing in a fair few companies and getting a lot more requests to invest, I look at GitHub repositories a lot. I often run into GitHub reposit
