It was pretty epic at WordCamp last week. Contributed some code, learned some new things and met some really nice people. The WordPress community is awesome! Looking forward to attending next year!

What a beautiful city. I'll forever be grateful that I can visit wonderful places as part of a job I really love doing. #WCEU26
Day 1 - Contribution Day. I worked with the Meta team and submitted a PR with improvements to the developer tooling in the wordpress.org repo. I learned loads, plenty to take away, and the community was very welcoming!

I'm hoping to attend a workshop at WordCamp this week. I've not attended workshops at conferences before - slightly nervous but also excited to learn new things. The workshops I'm attending aren't developer focused too. A nice change! What's your experience with workshops?
I'm really looking forward to attending WordCamp Europe on Thursday. I'm looking forward to meeting new people and taking part in my first Contributor Day! Let me know if you're going to WordCamp Europe - it would be great to catch up 🤘
I may have had a few too many at the @middlesbroughfe.co.uk social 😂 this morning will be a struggle. Thanks to everyone who came yesterday and to all of our speakers. We hope you had a great time 🤘

After working with @laravel.com full-time for the last 2 years, I've been keeping an eye on the Acorn project by @roots.io. Yesterday I tried the Livewire support and created a post search component in a WordPress theme. Combining Acorn with Sage is actually making WP Theme dev fun 🎉 🤩 👀
Leaked memo from the Shopify CEO about AI contains a bit about not learning AI prompting leading to stagnation. This is a viewpoint of someone not steeped in humanities. Honestly, USE of AI will LEAD to stagnation. If you don't regularly exercise your brain, you will lose skill. Every time.

It took me years to figure this out. But being a healthy developer can make you a better developer. In 2024 I embarked on a journey to improve my physical and mental health. I feel awesome and I think my work has seen an improvement as a result. So I wrote about it on @dev.to dev.to/jamiebradley...

Did you know that NextJS has a series of helper components that make integrating third party services like Tag Manager a doddle? The library also has functions for sending GTM events using the dataLayer object. It streamlines your code and makes handling GTM events much easier! #JavaScript #GTM
I've been trying to find a new lightweight carousel that I can use in both React and VanillaJS apps. I used to use SplideJS but the support seems to have died down on it. ✨ Enter Embla Carousel ✨ www.embla-carousel.com I love it! The experience has been great and the generator was useful too!
