AI agents rarely tell you which parts of an answer came from your data and which came from the model’s memory. Here is how to score that split in bits, and how a loose tool schema leaves the agent guessing.
The SaaS moat is gone now that an agent can rebuild your product in an afternoon. Here is the case for a herd of small automated niche businesses over one unicorn, and the WordPress REST API and WP-CLI setup that makes running a dozen of them possible.
WordPress Core added an experimental wp-env runtime that runs PHP and SQLite through WebAssembly, so a full environment starts in seconds without Docker. Notes on the npx flag, the SQLite tradeoff, and the limits that still send me back to containers.
Slow reporting on WooCommerce is usually a schema problem, not a hardware problem. This covers custom analytical tables, the Inmon and Kimball warehouse schools, lakehouses, and where event-driven architecture fits a WordPress stack.
Dumping a relational database into a vector store gives you a slow, expensive system that has forgotten its own schema. This covers hybrid retrieval instead: ReAct tool routing, why FAISS post-filtering returns nothing, and a PHP dispatcher for WordPress.
Dashboards tell you a delivery was late. They do not say which team caused it. This post covers the MCP setup I use so Claude can read ERP, WMS and TMS timestamps and work out where the delay started.
A plugin showing a green arrow is not proof that a variant won. This post walks through a 2×2 chi-square test in PHP: expected counts, degrees of freedom, the 3.84 cutoff at p=0.05, and the four assumptions that break the result.
WooCommerce 10.6 adds loading=”lazy” to the Product Image block by default, which hurts LCP when the image sits above the fold. The new woocommerce_product_image_loading_attr filter lets you force eager loading on the images that need it.
WordPress 7.0 Beta 1 puts real-time collaboration in core, adds a provider-agnostic WP AI Client on top of the Abilities API, and moves image resizing into the browser. Final release is set for April 9, 2026.
Telex can now take a Figma mockup or a napkin sketch as input, hand you a zip to refactor in VS Code, and accept it back for another AI pass. It also supports 7 languages and stopped breaking multi-byte output mid-stream.
