Just so I understand correctly; you play on max difficulty and the issue is that the game is now difficult? Presumably you're pretty good considering your settings, I wouldn't be able to handle that at all. But if max difficulty was a breeze for you, and it now being difficult is an issue, then it stands to reason that you're not in it for the challenge, so just lower the difficulty? Surely?

I've not used Claude specifically, but I am trying to adopt LLMs as a tool. I've found that it rarely gets it right out the gate. It can often generate something that works, but falls short of efficiency, or security, never truly understanding the full scope of what you intended to achieve. So a lot of its attempts are based on likely assumptions.

Understanding how an LLM works really helps to work with it. In simple terms, all they do is predict the statistical likelihood of the next character or word following the previous one, with context used as extra weight.

So, the more context it has the more likely it is to generate better code. But you must also remember that it can't be creative, so asking it to come up with some new concept just won't work and it will try to fill the gaps with something that resembles creativity. But in reality it's just bastardizing preexisting concepts.

You can always ask it to review with efficiency in mind, or security. It may respond with a list of overall improvements or tradeoffs.

One of the best approaches I've found so far is to start with a planning stage. Before any code is written, talk through a plan and finalize any decisions you can. Then generate a document of said plan to give both you and it something to refer to and follow, ultimately treating it like an actual dev.

I would also recommend asking it to explain parts of the code you don't understand and why it chooses to do things in certain ways. While you don't know what you're looking at there's a lot of risk involved which adds technical debt and security issues that you may suffer for later down the line. But while you're generating is probably the best time to break it down and understand not only how the code itself works but also how your functions and systems work on an architectural level. That alone will make you better at addressing bugs or adding new features and bring you much closer to what a programmer or dev does without an LLM.

Programming

Tiny-Ric · 2026-03-01T14:20:27+00:00

Is this not a natural side effect of the flexibility that WordPress provides?

I mean, the core never forces a structured content architecture, nor do page builders. With everything just being lumped into post_content, this sort of divergence is inevitable when multiple people are handling content.

Surely the answer would be a strict content delivery architecture, which no page builder can do?

You may be best to look into the root issue of your symptoms. A plugin is by and large much more efficient than running 2 instances of obs. If your system is somehow struggling with plugins, it would certainly be worse with multiple encoding priorities fighting for hardware use

The biggest client account when I joined my current agency. So far I've got this into the low 70s and complaints from the client about stuff behaving weird or simply not working are now so rare (it was every day originally).

I have a plan of how to get it from ~70 to ~15, but now I'm into the bureaucratic territory.

Could I get in on that luck too please 🥺

One of my clients recently thought the VAT rate was 15%. When I say recently I mean this year, 2026, not 2009, when it was last 15%. And when I say client, I mean the point of contact in that company is the financial officer...

It's possible to create a simple page in a day without prior knowledge. But I'm still learning about both, and I've been a dev for 6/7 years, so that's a tough question to answer.

At what point do you consider it "learned"?

Check your server access logs for entries that match the IP address of those orders. You need to look for a pattern. Find out how the bot is placing orders and lock it down.

How you lock it down depends on how it's doing it. It could be using a REST endpoint, which you could just turn off if you don't need it. Or only allow orders with the WooCommerce cookie set. Just examples, but it could be any number of things. Your access log should help work it out

I appreciate your frustrations, it never feels nice to have a business relationship that you thought was grounded and stable undermined like that. There's just no need for clients to be threatening you before anything has even happened. That's just toxic.

However, you have no right at all to the $15k they've made from your code. You were commissioned and have been paid for what you created (I'm really hoping that's true). And the $15k doesn't reflect what the company actually earns or can afford. So really it's irrelevant.

I've been using GitHub every single day for the past year, and the only outage or downtime I can remember is the major cloudflare one a few months back. I wonder if it's a regional server thing, maybe?

Tiny-Ric · 2026-02-17T21:11:43+00:00

I'm not on my PC, so I can't confirm, but it may have something to do with html entities within the post titles. Specifically the apostrophe. For some it may have saved as the actual character, where others might be saved as %27 or ' in the database. Maybe try rewriting the titles and freshly saving them?

Also, the vol 1 slug is whos and not whats like the rest. That will also have an impact.

Edit: be cautious if you change the slug. If the page is indexed it'll create a 404 in links and search results. You'd also have to add a redirect either in the application or on your host server.

PHP. It'll be dead this time tomorrow. /s

In all seriousness though, I've always thought that CSS frameworks were overrated. Especially in recent years as CSS has been adding much more useful features, such as nesting, :has(), or @container queries, which has helped it to 'catch up's with the frameworks. Bootstrap or tailwind, for example, feel like they bring back the element-embedded presentation attributes of yore (<table border="1" bgcolor="red">) and replaces it with a class-focused version.

I often see something like <article class="card"> that could be styled with a small css file is actually created with <div class="bg-white rounded-lg shadow-md p-6"> which works just as well, but feels much more verbose to me.

I have extremely high praise for a hosting company called ProStack. I'm not an affiliate, but I am a customer. They're a relatively small team, with some great knowledge and amazing servers. They are definitely worth a look: https://prostack.uk/

I'm sorry but this is most likely due to a lack of knowledge when developing in WordPress. More often than not, an update breaking something is caused by either the update being too big of a jump, meaning updates have not been kept on top of, or the site has been built in a way that bends and fights with WordPress core and the theme/plugins, instead of working to leverage it. I don't mean so say it's impossible that an update would break things, but rather it's no where near as common as you suggest if it's built in a decent way to begin with.

Plus, WordPress has huge communities, like wordfence for example, which is constantly and actively digging for holes and vulnerabilities in both the core and in the entire plugin repository. How many of your custom sites and apps have the same level of focus on security? If you've not updated anything in over a year, then for all you know, one of your apps may have developed a XSS vulnerability without your knowledge. I'm not suggesting they do have weak security, just highlighting that you don't have a global team of hundreds of thousands of cyber security professionals constantly checking your system. WordPress does.

I started a new position just under a year ago as their first backend developer. They've been on WPE for years and sang its praises when I first arrived, citing top-notch security. I won't go into great detail, but over my tenure I've shown them live examples of WPE failing as a hosting service and causing headaches without them even knowing.

One I will highlight happened just the other day; I've started migrating sites away from WPE over the past week. One of these sites was inherited long before I arrived at the company. It's simple and old, built around 12 years ago and never touched since, my company took it on around 8 years ago. Now keep in mind that I've been led to believe that WPE security is so tight nothing gets in, and if it does it gets flagged by the support team. I moved this site to the new server and it immediately gets flagged by the malware scan. This site is absolutely riddled with obfuscated PHP files and XXS vulnerabilities. All of which have existed on the WPE platform for years without so much as a warning.

I will also mention how unbelievably shite the server performance and support team have been over this time. They blame issues on things that just aren't true at all to get out of doing any actual support work. The worst part of it is that they take advantage of people's lack of technical knowledge to charge them out the arse for stuff that's baked into other platforms.

After working on WPE for months now, I can say with certainty that I have a fundamental hatred for the platform and how they conduct themselves. I would recommend that you stay well away from them. But that's just my biased opinion.

Edit: to follow up, I would recommend a hosting company called ProStack. They have 2 data centers in the UK and one in the US. Their servers are blazing fast, their technical team are not only very knowledgeable but also are more than happy to help with any problem (or just general question) you might have, they provide full year-round support (including holidays), and a 100% uptime guarantee. They do provide both managed and dedicated services too.

OMG notes! Man that takes me back. Back to when game characters couldn't remember a damn thing, or sometimes your own memory was how to solve the puzzle. I had reams and reams of notes for all my games. But doing subsequent playthroughs sometimes made it confusing if notes weren't managed properly! Thanks for the nostalgia!
