If you've worked with Drupal long enough, you've faced this decision: Do I build a custom module for this or can ECA handle it? Use ECA When The logic is workflow-based Non-developers need to maintain it ECA workflows live in the admin UI. Your client or site admin can read, modify, and debug them without touching code. A custom module cannot offer that. Speed matters A workflow that would tak
The first article on this blog explained how it was built in 30 minutes with Claude Code. Naturally, a blog needs comments. Same constraints: no database, no external dependencies, no Disqus tracking visitors. Just PHP + JSON files. Built in one session with Claude Code — the interesting part wasn't the code, it was the security audit that followed. A comment system without a database seems trivia
I was skeptical at first. Not about AI in general — but about whether it would actually fit into my workflow. I work mostly with legacy PHP and jQuery. The kind of codebase that was written before half the frameworks people talk about today even existed. Some Vue.js here and there in newer parts, but a lot of the core is raw PHP, procedural logic, and jQuery doing things you probably don't want to
Introduction Backup plugins are useful — but they are not a real disaster‑recovery strategy. In this article, I break down the real reasons why backup plugins fail, what actually happens during a server‑level crash, and how to build a recovery plan that works in the real world. Backup Plugins Only Work When WordPress Works A backup plugin depends on: WordPress running PHP running MySQL running the

A single generateObject call covers classification, extraction, summarization, tagging — the 80% case for production LLM work in TS right now.

The Problem I Was Trying to Solve When I started building VMMS — a voucher management system It was the workflow routing. A voucher request doesn't just go to one office. It goes And at any point, a department can: Complete their step and pass it forward Reject the entire request Flag it for missing documents and pause processing I needed a system that could handle all of that cleanly.

All frameworks are eventually replaced. React is probably the first that won’t be. It's not the best language out there, it's not the language developers love the most, it's the language the robots just won't quit. Request ChatGPT to develop a todo app for you. You'll receive React. Request Copilot to generate the basic structure of a component. React. Request Claude to design a prototype for a da
