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
Hey everyone, I shared this earlier as a CLI to analyse npm packages before installing. Since then, I’ve added something I think is even more useful: 👉 You can now scan GitHub repos before cloning or running them npx guard-install --repo https://github.com/user/repo There’s a growing pattern (especially in crypto interviews / side projects): “Clone this repo and run it locally” Some of these rep
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.

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

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. Every v
The blog you're reading right now was built in a single conversation with Claude Code, Anthropic's CLI, in about 30 minutes. No all-nighter, no purchased template, no WordPress. One working session in the terminal. Here's exactly how it went — real code, real commands, and what almost went wrong. My portfolio web-developpeur.com does its job: showcasing my background and projects. But a static sit
