Show Notes

Today were talking about the creation and evolution of the Slidy Panel WordPress plugin, designed to offer customisable slide-in panels for block-based sites. We discussed the challenge of plugin naming and adapting to block directory requirements, and the impact of AI on the web development industry. We also got into the need for human expertise in bespoke website creation. Towards the end, we explored agency life, plugin marketing, and the necessity of adaptability in a changing digital landscape. As always, there's some humour thrown in, this time around careers, collectibles, and the unpredictable future of WordPress professionals.
