WordCamp Asia 2026 is set for Mumbai, April 9 to 11, at the Jio World Convention Centre, with more than 3,000 attendees expected. Notes on why the flagship event is worth the trip, what sponsorship pays for, and how the hallway track earns its keep.
Most WordPress sites keep their data as loose post meta rows. Healthcare got further by agreeing on shared ontologies before writing any code, and the same approach works in a WordPress codebase, from CPT design through JSON-LD output.
Low-tech logistics companies do not need AGI, they need to stop counting stock with a pen. Voice-driven inventory counts in n8n, damage reports generated from a photo, and a WordPress REST endpoint that takes the data in without breaking WooCommerce stock.
WooCommerce 10.5 ships the variable product Add to Cart button disabled and relies on the core variation script to re-enable it. If you dequeued that script but kept the core template, the button never wakes up. This is how to patch your own JavaScript.
WooCommerce 10.5 ships an experimental in-memory cache for product objects, so a single request stops rebuilding the same object over and over. The benchmarks, plus the stale data trap waiting for anyone who updates products with direct SQL.
The cross-entropy layer is where LLM training tends to run out of VRAM. This post walks through fusing the linear projection and the loss into one Triton kernel, why tiling and online softmax cut peak memory by 84%, and where my first attempt went wrong.
WordPress 7.0 raises the minimum PHP version to 7.4.0 when it lands in April 2026, so sites still on 7.2 or 7.3 need a plan. Also covers the 6.9.1 maintenance release on February 3 and the open core rep nominations.
Built-in DAX time intelligence handles a standard Gregorian calendar fine, but custom fiscal years are another story. Where the built-in functions stop helping, and how a row rank column took one client’s moving average from 500ms to 110ms.
The Core-AI team shipped v0.1.0 of the WordPress PHP AI Client SDK. It is a provider-agnostic Composer package you bundle into your own plugin, so swapping the LLM behind a feature stops being a refactor.
Healthcare treats data as an ontology rather than a row, which is why its knowledge graphs outlive the systems built on them. Layered ontologies, regulated vocabularies, and what web developers could borrow from both.
