Recently I’ve mostly been using Understrap as a theme for WordPress, however the Understrap GitHub repository has shown a disturbing lack of maintenance for the last year or so. With Bootstrap 5 on the horizon, and WordPress and PHP constantly moving forward, I don’t want to be stuck in a potential development dead-end using Understrap. […]
I’ve previously blogged about creating keyboard shortcuts in WordPress. Now I’ve bundled that up into a plugin. It’s available on GitHub. https://github.com/tobyink/php-wp-ctrl-semicolon

Prompted by a recent question on PerlMonks, I’ve been thinking a bit recently on marshalling and unmarshalling Perl objects. If you’re happy using Data::Dumper’s format, then it’s trivial, but today we’re looking at JSON. If you just want to encode…
Mom is a shortcut for creating Moo classes (and roles). It allows you to define a Moo class with the brevity of Class::Tiny. (In fact, Mom is even briefer.) A simple example:…
