The Lovecraft Test: Fable 5.1
I haven’t used Claude Fable at all since it came out. Mostly I’ve been intimidated by the credit usage and feeling like I don’t really have anything that’s “Fable-worthy” (whatever that means). But it’s been a while since I ran a Lovecraft test and I decided to pit what’s maybe? arguably? the world’s best LLM…

I don’t miss not writing code
Five years ago, I was so burnt out, I didn’t think I had a future being a software engineer. Five years ago, I thought I couldn’t cut it. I didn’t have the chops. I couldn’t keep up. Coding was not fun. I began to wonder if it ever was fun. One of the arguments against…

The CMS is dead. Long live the CMS.
I saw a post on LinkedIn the other day from a self-proclaimed 20 year agency veteran of WordPress saying that was it, they’re moving the entire agency off of WordPress and onto AI. Now, because I, too, am a 20 year veteran of WordPress, this kind of story catches my attention. He posted that they…

Disclosing AI use
This is based on a thread that I posted to Bluesky that I decided to keep here for posterity. If you want to discuss on Bluesky, follow me at @jazzsequence.com and let’s chat. Let’s talk about AI. I’ve been using it a lot recently. It’s not that I don’t see or care about the environmental…

Teaching an AI to Read My Website (Over MCP)
For the last couple weeks, I’ve been building a headless Next.js frontend for this site — a project I’ve been calling jazz-nextjs. The idea is straightforward enough: keep WordPress as the content management layer (where I actually like writing) while serving the public-facing site through a modern React frontend hosted on Pantheon’s Next.js infrastructure. What’s…

Yes, I am the (interim) President of The WPCC
The cat is finally out of the bag. I was officially named Interim President of The WP Community Collective this week. When I joined The WPCC as a member last year, it was not too long after going to my first DrupalCon. DrupalCon Atlanta was enlightening for a lot of reasons. But most relevant to…

WordCamp Canada, eh?
Last week, I took my first trip to Canada for WordCamp Canada 2025 (WCEH). Anyone who follows me on social media, may have seen the video I recorded in anticipation of the trip. While sadly I didn’t do a lot of exploring, I had a number of takeaways from the event. Organization There have been…

What if AI slop had its own social network?
I want to talk today about Sora 2 and the new Sora AI app. First of all, Sora is not new. OpenAI released Sora about a year ago initially and, at the time, it was a sort of hidden part of ChatGPT that let you make bad videos. And trust me, they were bad. I…

In defense of Wapuu
Since WordCamp US this year, I’ve been making some cute shorts with the Wapuu I brought back home from Portland. I’ve made two so far to promote me going to BADCamp and WordCamp Canada. My thought is that, in my role as Developer Advocate, I kind of need a “personal brand” and be doing things…

The Lovecraft Test, Gemini 2.5-pro
At the same time as I was fighting with GPT-5 to give me the thing I actually wanted, I also used the Gemini app and the access I have to pro-level Gemini models to do the Lovecraft test with 2.5-pro. Previously, I had only tested with Flash-2.0, so, not only should this be a more…
