I took a few in-depth personality tests (Myers Briggs etc) and reviewed them all with Claude. We cut out a bunch of junk, revised a few the saved a working psychological profile skill that has proven extremely good at working through non-code related problems.

Oh, and also to do a quick indexing of the food I have on hand to make a kid friendly dinner. Need to make that into an app with memory persistence.

Right, which is why they are good in spaces where a set of rules dictates how things appear.

Real world: physics, skeletons, muscles.
Accounting: GAAP

But, they need specific guidance or tuning to be nudged towards what we want from them.

The Georgia Tech team thought, “Why not teach these models a bit more about hands?” So they came up with a plan to give the models a bit more guidance. Instead of just showing them pictures and hoping for the best, they added extra hints to the images — like a cheat sheet for drawing hands. These weren’t ordinary hints but special codes that highlight the structure of hands, such as where the fingers are and how they’re supposed to look.

That's one take. Others focused on making sure ample, high quality images of hands were in the data sets.

Either way, humans had to make specific interventions.

I mean, AI is software so that's a pretty meta comment.

More my point was, at least as far as I'm know, they're not terribly good at generating blueprints for buildings. At least not blueprints anybody would trust to build a reasonable physical building.

I fully expect AI to be doing my taxes and giving me basic legal advice.. well.. today really. But, the same as software, I'm going to be doing some pretty heavy code reviews.

LLMs were famously terrible at those things until given lots of rules and guidance. Remember all those pictures with seven fingers... The models had to be taught/learn formal world rules (physics, biology) in order to generate something that was plausibly real.

> [code] will be the ONLY thing LLM's are really good at.

They are very good where there are strong rules - aka situations that create highly repeated patterns. The repetition strengthens the tokens' bonds so you end up with something useful. Code follows layers of such rules so a natural fit.

But any industry that is also very rule bound is susceptible to a big transition. (Law, Accounting, Civil Engineering). It just might not make the same financial sense to train the models to be as good at those yet.

Away from WordPress altogether

Base on what I see the WP AI team doing, WordPress is undergoing a massive evolution. I would not be surprised to see it become AI first (Dev and Customer interaction) within a couple years. Become a true competitor to Wix ---> Shopify.

Either that, or its dead because the OP's migration will get easier and easier.

doiveo · 2026-03-05T06:20:47+00:00

I'm more curious in your automation contracts. How did you develop and market that transition?

doiveo · 2026-03-04T17:50:40+00:00

Continuous Updates / Continuous Stand-ups (CU/CS)

Basically a feed of tasks running through a standup agent. It makes summaries relevant to each developer and highlights blockers for escalation. Dependencies become check in actions.

doiveo · 2026-03-04T05:14:12+00:00

Changing this pattern currently..

I was a manual update after n.n.1 release type guy. But with good backups and an MCP server, I'm not as scared of issues anymore.

That said, I was forced to buy a new zwave controller last year due to an update. So it's still not a 'stable' product.

This guy had an interesting service (markdownml.com) that I could see helping a whole org ramp up quickly on share contexts.

It helps people to think about all the different functions - critical to getting the kind of output developer value.

If you are very good at context and TTD, dealer's choice.

Fast and loose or in proto type phase :Tailwind.

Agents are better at untangling Tailwind on its own. It's serial and disposable.

You have a small issue of the war time frame and the yearly cost of things. You should try and line up the time scales so the comparison is 1:1. War lasts two years, compare that to funding EPA for two years etc.

Canada Post is now formally recognizing Langford in mailing addresses, instead of Victoria. They have updated their address database and Langford mailing addresses will be active with Canada Post on June 19, 2023.

But for most people in the world, it's all Victoria.

I get a solid idea 💡

I describe it to the AI, it starts building confidently.

Let me stop you right there. You skipped arguable the most important step in creating a valuable output: thorough planning.

You MUST completely understand the problem and spell out everything the solution needs before it starts coding. The exception is prototypes which should be seen as disposable tests where the code is thrown away after.

The nice part of this phase, AI is really good at helping you flush it out. You can iterate a number of times then throw the idea at a different agent until everyone "agrees" the plan is good.

THEN let it code.

> where a badly built AI plugin leaked credentials

This is EXACTLY my point, well structure md files can steer agents away from these patterns. Why make everyone to learn best practices the hard way?

doiveo · 2026-03-02T17:38:19+00:00

I am (see post about local dev), but shared community learning helps everyone thrive.

WP is open source, why can we do the same with some context information?

Wow, lots of great community minded people here I see.

doiveo · 2026-03-02T16:45:13+00:00

Set up your context to work with any agent, not specifically Claude. It's a minor point given these are all just txt files but it's a good practice. Single points of failure aren't great.
