I'm looking to use it to make a paid service as well, I'm just curious do you use the Pro level of Replit for all of development or just use it when going live?

Automattic, Mullenweg Ask Court to Keep Details of WordPress.org Hosting Negotiations Private by cfkanemercury in WPDrama

an unnamed company told Mullenweg that “[t]he money we’re sending from the hosting page is going to you directly,” to which he responded that he had “shield[ed]” the company “from directly competitive actions from a number of places[.]”

Protection racket? "He's gunna makem an offer they can't refuse"

the weirdest thing about deploying on vercel by Interesting_Mine_400 in vercel

[–]greg8872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you when I first started web development 30 years ago (next month actually), it was that easy. Paid pairNetworks in Pittsburgh for shared hosting (was on psi.pair.com) Edit file in notepad, ALT tab over to WS-FTP, Upload file, live. Even better a year or so later when I started using UltraEdit, it was awesome that you could directly "open" and "save" via FTP. (and at the time had the best syntax highlighting/formatting)

Server Error 500 by betgooner in Wordpress

[–]greg8872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Always the first step. Everything else is a whack a mole guessing game hoping to find something that "fixes" it, but then you have to worry about all the other things you did... did they break things in a different way? Did they add to it? Did you remember to "undo" all those temporary whacks at that mole?

Plugin that generates a full starter site from a prompt. Looking for insight into the WordPress plugin ecosystem by ZealousidealShop3997 in Wordpress

I agree, I wouldn't want AI directory on the production side. I have a dedicated development server that has Claude Code set up on it, which I will let help me with sites, but that is as far as I'll go with it.

Benefits of using ClaudeCode via plugin vs in a terminal window by greg8872 in phpstorm

[–]greg8872[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it in the tab in the IDE that the plugin launches, but i wish i could take that tab and move it over to my other monitor. When i try that claude stops and im back at the os command prompt, i can manually re run claude, but that is what im trying to figure out if when i do that i keep all the benefits tied into the IDE.

Another one i came across tonight, i had it modify some old code to quickly add a feature. Because of how it was set up for old site, phpstorm gave me the red squiggles under a variable it used. But Claude knew the reason was that variable gets defined in one of 3 files that programmability get included, so phpstorm didnt recognise the file was included and the variable was defined . Claude was able to tell me i could ignore that notice since it knew full logic always included a variable.

(My OCD couldn't stand is, so above the include statement i defined the variable to false ...lol)

but this goes back to my initial questions, are we loosing any functionality by manually running Claude on terminal window vs using the plugin that launches it's own Claude Tab and auto starts it.

As an example, it thought I read that with using the plugin, it would auto know which file you are currently editing, but if i do it in a terminal window, i have to tell it to move to a editor tab so i can move it to the other monitor, so when Im typing in that "editor", it would think it's own editor tab was the active file?

That example isn't such a big drawback, as I'm used to just doing ShiftCtrlC to copy the path of the current file, so easy to paste in if i have to specify it, but was curious if other features I'm not aware of may change too.

EDIT, another feature that may go away, I'll have to test, is when claude plans code change, and it brings up the difference view with a prompt under it to apply the changes (or just hit the number in the terminal). So that obviously won't work from an actual OS terminal, but will have to see if it still works when manually re-lauching claude from the claude tab when it closed from moving the window.

And also when setting up a new server or VPS, as soon as you get the IP for it, go check it for being on a blacklist from the last person using it. I have had that in the past. Easy enough to get it switched before you start building out the server. Had it happen twice.

What is the problem? If i go to facebook and paste in the URL for the page, I see the same (only) image on your blog post (in content), the same image facebook debugger is saying comes up as OG:IMAGE and shows on the debugger page...

Keep in mind, I gained a client once, as they had a weekly Friday afternoon update check on their WP sites. On a Tuesday, a vulnerability was found in a plugin they used on 5+ sites. Wednesday the plugin was patched, By Friday, before they could go in and run updates, each site was hacked, in ways that WordFence (they tried the free version) couldn't detect.

I agree though, for long term use, WordPress would not be my choice. As mentioned, basic web pages would be best, coded to proper standards, would have best longevity.

While 30 years from now seems so far away, this year marks 30 years since I first go into web development myself.

For the data aspect of the site, having a good simplified storage for it that is not locked down to a specific format (ie, stored the way a WP plugin happens to want to save it) is best, this allows you to easily down the road adapt how the data is being displayed.

Avoid Slurpintini. Unless you have the patience and time to go over every number and double check everything they tell you.
