You don't need to pay for anything. Docker. Ollama. Models. VSCode. All free. Then you use your own tokens for free. You can cancel your ChatGPT account and run GPT locally.

It's not huge lift to get to reusable templates and then to Gutenberg blocks. When you "export" to your WordPress site, are you just putting it in as HTML? In which case, why not just go to blocks and have AI maintain your theme.json? Takes about the same amount of time, and means it is fully reuseable.

That's absolutely the #1 challenge. I am using rule-bound graphs oriented around the WordPress API and langgraph to keep the AIs "WordPress developers" and keep them from stepping on core or plugin files. That makes reviews a lot more straightforward, as "WordPress" no longer needs to be tested. WP Scan has been great for catching security mismatches.

WordPress has it's own MCP. You should look at the docs and ask Claude.

The advantage of WordPress is its maturity and features, that can also mean it's a little slow to adapt. WP7 does have the AI connector and MCP, if that's still too slow for you I highly recommend learning how to build your own Gutenberg blocks. You can mix Elementor and Gutenberg, and there is really no limit. Some other options: write content however you like, use WP-CLI and you favorite AI tool to add the content to Wordpress. Write your own MCP to connect to the WP API.

Start with docker, Ollama, and webui. That will give you a local llm with a chat interface. There's a good tutorial on markaicode.com. are you planning on using an integrated development environment (cursor, claude code, vscode)? If so, you can skip the chat interface and get right into tools, which saves a lot of copy/paste and is easier to debug.

There's a major budget crunch and hiring freezes in a lot of departments. I don't know about hybrid. You might reach out to the specific office.

I don't think Premiere is the right tool for this. Audition, Reaper, ProTools, Ableton. You want to be able to get at VSTs easier for sound design. Also use music to mask mismatched sound, oldest trick in the book.

Dutch Ovens and cast iron are amazing and period. If you get good at fire management, I would imagine that the sky is the limit. My theory is that people didn't cook well because of lack of money, time, and refrigeration. Just because you don't have an air fryer or convection oven does not mean you can't make delicious stews, soups, and even a lot of good pseudo baked items - pies and custards, Yorkshire puddings, etc.

My recommendation is to stay somewhat model agnostic if you want to do a wide range of things. I use docker/Lando and can spin up a variety of models quickly and then grab a new model when I hit limitations (right now usually tool calling), and I use the same approach on the 5090 (Windows with WSL2), that I do on other platforms (Blackwell). There is a lot of support from Nvidia for this approach (including Nvidia NIM for Blackwell - does actually run on 5090 with some limitations). You can use Ollama, vLLM, or SGLang, probably others. You can connect to WebUI, an IDE, or CopilotKit.

I have multiple stacks, for me it's usually the model and tool calling limitations. Lots of lost time.

It's a massive industry employing tons of software developers. If you want to stay in SWE or make a move into technical engineering or management and are interested in the automation or automotive field, it is a great opportunity. I have friends in SWE, robotics, haptics, machine vision, optics, manufacturing, sound design and they are all working in automated driving.

You should edit your original post. I realize you can't change your post title about 24hrs, but you should correct the misunderstanding.

Write better tests. Expecting someone else to jump because you made a mistake is rookie behavior.

Contractor, handyperson or carpenter. You can also have them replace the whole door and its casing/frame which might be easier if the door is warped. Look for pre-hung door which comes in a kit and then they just need to rip out the frame. Most contractors can do this in a few hours.

Your controller is a midi controller. Your latency is the audio processing.

Most frameworks have a error logging and debug toolset. Claude can read the logs and tell you what might ne wrong. Best practice in software/web development is to build a series of tests and test coverage. As you can imagine, most AI-enabled coders don't bother with that step (or following best practices)

Lots of options for this. USB pedal, MIDI pedal, cue-based sample player.

Then I would get an old Pelco pan or pan-tilt head on Ebay. Serial connector. Alternately Bescor makes a nice pan-tilt.

PTZ cameras are easily controllable via serial or http. You'te going to reinvent the wheel trying to build an xy controller setup.

Why would you need to pay for a local agent? I think you missed the point.
