I just cooked dinner. Does that mean it tasted bad? Did it taste good during the process of cooking it? My brain hurts.

Yeah that looks cool! Only hesitation I have is that since the tokens need to exist in theme.json also, generating the extra class kinda won't be necessary since the wp classes will be generated from theme.json... πŸ€” still might be useful though! I think a plugin that generates theme.json would be πŸ”₯

Perhaps this is plugin territory, since the wp theme.json needs to be populated with sizes, colors etc from the tokens for those options to be available in the wp editor.

Yes that looks clever! In wp there are controls in the editor to select bg/text color, spacing etc, that adds some wp specific class, like "wp-preset-text-color-red-500". So I would like to generate both my own "text-red-500" class (generated if used) and the wp-class (always generated).

@sugarcube.sh Is it possible to force generation of some utils regardless of their use in the markup? Would be awesome for wp themes where some classes are added in the editor and not always in the code. :D

Congrats! Very, very well deserved! @kevinpowell.co

Quick question though! Are any utils generated by default (if used in markup ofc)? Like the standard bg, color etc, or do all utils have to be defined in the config for any to be generated?

Yeah I got that far! πŸ‘
I am a silly boy though. I realized now the utilities.gen.css wont generate unless I actually USE the utilities in the markup.
It works! This is the most valuable tool I've found in YEARS. Thank you!

Tried to get claude to explain how to integrate @sugarcube.sh into a wordpress/create-block (webpack) project. But of course, since it's "AI" it crapped the bed.

As an American citizen, saying the Pledge of Allegiance runs counter to American values. A free people do not pledge allegiance to the state, but rather the state pledges allegiance to its citizens.

Happy to have found a great use for my LinkedIn account; Posting links to all of the hilarious and horrifying examples of AI fuckups, to counteract all of the AI-hype.

The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents | Fortune Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath said older generations β€œscrewed up” giving students access to so much technology: β€œI genuinely hope Gen Z quickly figures that out and gets mad.”

Now THAT's a headline.

Is there a way to prevent this? @404media.co. Threaded skeets, reskeets of the same article. Great for visibility, but it gets a bit much?

I once put a 4 hour block titled AFK in my work calendar. I had no idea why I was supposed to be AFK.

When will an AI agent apply for a remote job, use a realistic avatar for the video interview, land the job and start pushing code without anyone realizing it's a slop machine? *shudders*

A screenshot of a webpage titled "The Archibald Scale", subtitle: "A sensible temperature scale for sensible people"

There's a four column table. Archibald, Celsius, Fahrenheit, Vibes

Some highlights:
50, 18.9, 66, Perfect indoors 
58, 21.9, 71.4, Room temperature 
80, 30.2, 86.4, Beach temperature

Regular reminder: Git is not GitHub.

GitHub is not your friend. Start by moving your personal projects elsewhere πŸ˜‰

Could we all just collectively post a bit less about people doing or saying dumb things, and a bit more about people doing or saying good things?
