Notes from the workshop.
No thought leadership. Things we figured out on real projects, written down so we don't have to figure them out again. Mostly Laravel, Vue, and WordPress, sometimes the business of running a tiny studio.
The cookie banner you didn't get.
A cookie banner is not a legal requirement. It is the receipt for a decision somebody made about whose code runs on your site, usually one script at a time and usually without anyone deciding at all.
The plugin pile, and how to stop adding to it.
The plugins we run on every WordPress site, the ones we refuse, how we audit an inherited pile, and the parts we build ourselves.
Taking over someone else's codebase.
Most takeover requests arrive as an emergency. Here's the audit-first process we use to tell you honestly whether a codebase can be rescued or has to be replaced - before anyone signs anything.
