Where have I been? Am I okay? Thanks to everyone who reached out. It’s time for me to answer these questions. It’s been a horrible year, one crisis after another. The latest: This summer (during annual checkups) I was diagnosed with breast cancer. (heavy) 1/3

Last year my design won the PHP Foundation contest for the PHP 8.5 release page. This year I went further, a full redesign proposal for the php.net homepage and docs, built around PHP 8.6. Just for the love of PHP, and for fun. Preview: nunoguerra.com/dev/php Code: github.com/nunowar/phpnet

Unless you live under a stone, everybody will have heard about PHP today. Now, please realize that the vast majority of Open Source Software, like PHP, and including PHP, is largely maintained by **unpaid volunteers**.

Two identical websites. One vibe-coded in four minutes. One built on WordPress. Let’s launch them both and see what happens... itlooksdone.com/
It Looks Done: Same site. Very different Tuesday.

AI is great at the visible 20% of a website. Watch launch day happen to a vibe-coded app and a WordPress site, and see the other 80%.

I’ll continue to be mostly offline for the coming months (during treatments). I plan to be back next year. Thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and support. Hugely appreciated! All my best to each of you 🫶 3/3

It was caught early. Prognosis is good. Surgery is done. Treatments start soon. So no, I’m not okay, but I will be. We’re facing it one step-at-a-time with grace and strength. 2/3

Relying heavily on AI doesn’t only stifle critical thinking. It constrains creativity too. New evidence: People generate more original ideas when they consult AI sometimes, rather than extensively or rarely. Independent thought is a foundation of ingenuity.

The browser is striking back. Bloated stacks, fragile abstractions, bad defaults - it’s all catching up with us. I’ll dig into all of this at Web Directions Dev Summit, Nov 19–20 (Sydney + online). 💸 Codes: jonodevsummit25 / jonodevsummit25streaming webdirections.org/dev-summit
