Introducing the WordPress AI Assistant — Now Built Into WordPress.com wordpress.com/blog/2026/02...
These days, I keep asking myself: how can experienced developers mentor the new generation to use AI in the right way? luigitesch.io/2025/11/01/a...
Which of these topics do you think would be most interesting for a talk?
I’m considering proposing a talk for WordCamp Pisa. Over the past few months, I’ve contributed to the @wordpress/dataviews package, and with my team we’ve been evolving WooCommerce Blocks using the Interactivity API and other Site Editor features.
Building a small Elixir app. I'm loving the experience so far. The only thing I miss is a static type system. Excited to see the progress being made on that front.

However, AI has never helped me solve intricate problems that took me days to debug or research. Am I the only one experiencing this?
Over the past year and even earlier, I've been engaging with AI tools daily, starting with Copilot and more recently adding Cursor to my routine. During this period, I've consistently found value in the helpful suggestions and insightful feedback provided.
I'm interesting to connecting regarding this topic bsky.app/profile/gigi...
I shared the same text on LinkedIn and I had the impression that most of the people didn't get the negative impact :(
It is interesting that in the South of Italy we celebrate the name-day (in italian "onomastico"). Do you have this kind of celebration?

I’ve noticed a growing number of issues and PRs on popular open-source projects that seem to be generated by LLMs. Could this flood of auto-generated contributions lead to more work and potentially burnout for maintainers?
We talked about:
🌍 How open source changed (and shaped) my life
🌐 The importance of clear async communication in remote teams
🤖 Why AI is just a tool — not a replacement
🧠 And the unique challenges of contributing to a global project like WordPress

I recently had a great conversation about my journey, the open source world, and what it means to work on WordPress at scale.
Yep! It is legal! I'm Neapolitan and many restaurants offer this as dessert. Enjoy it!
Remember when this used to excite you luigitesch.io/2025/05/01/r...
I'm learning BEAM machine by building a POC of the Infinite Monkey Theorem. Could be an interesting talk?
As I already mentioned, it is just a side project to learn Rust github.com/gigitux/wp_b...
It is a basic version and absolutely it is not perfect! Hopefully, I will improve in the following weeks :)
🤞🤞 I started with a tdd approach starting from the simple case and build on top of it. Brick by brick 🧱
Nope. I don't use any crater. Also, it is not something that it will go in production, it is just an exercise to improve my skills with Rust
Sunday project: learn how to write a parser in Rust
“Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right”: Meta emails unsealed
A photo of Aaron Swartz (1986-2013) when he was 19.
Last month, Meta admitted to torrenting a controversial large dataset known as LibGen, which includes tens of millions of pirated books. But details around the torrenting were murky until yesterday, when Meta's unredacted emails were made public for the first time. The new evidence showed that Meta torrented "at least 81.7 terabytes of data across multiple shadow libraries through the site Anna’s Archive, including at least 35.7 terabytes of data from Z-Library and LibGen," the authors' court filing said. And "Meta also previously torrented 80.6 terabytes of data from LibGen."
Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models.
In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.
I'm at FOSDEM. Ping me if you're around!
Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending Piero Savastano’s workshop on AI and Stregatto. We explored thought-provoking questions about AI, including whether it truly represents “intelligence,” and delved into the architecture of Stregatto—a super cool open-source project.
"Code reviews do work. They can be problematic, but I don’t think that code reviews are intrinsically antagonistic: it’s the people involved. Reviews are just a tool to achieve the goals of quality and mentoring, and as a tool, it has to be used wisely"

Nice! See you there! 🚀
I just arranged my trip for the FOSDEM - pretty excited!
During meetups, it happened that I met business owner/developers that building products in team without version control. No Git, no branches, no history — how is this even a choice in 2025?
"2024 reinforced what I've known since I was sixteen: open source isn't just about code - it's about building bridges between people."
