This blog post was a missed opportunity for Gemini: Ideally, the blog post should have been by-lined as "written by Gemini" (with no human intervention besides prompting). Even better - the attached video shows the blog post being generated.
From the article: "Teams can’t wear cream anymore because it interferes with the digital ads that are placed on the court in broadcast due to the uniforms being so close to the color of the wood that is keyed out in the process."
I responded to this request to message me that came via Instagram with “What else would I write?”
Then came the pitch… I was being asked to write song for the questioner’s son’s birthday, which was next week. Just a simple 2 minute birthday song which will have his name mentioned lol
Planting more trees has many benefits to the planet and society, and trees can be a large carbon sink - but planting trees doesn't always help mitigate climate change, and in some cases can exacerbate the problem.
I've used Wordpress for a number of projects myself. Curious: For your use case, do you find the ease of use of WordPress' content tooling to outweigh the time needed to deal with security, updates, and deployment (especially since you self-host?)
Partially, partially because the sites use quite a few plugins and I find it more convenient to use WordPress for them than to recode everything from scratch to work with a new system.
I actually listed all the things I'd need to recreate with a migration, and it's basically:
1. The entire account system
2. Plus the admin dashboard
3. Post/content editor
4. Media library
5. Paid subscriptions setup
6. Social media integrations
7. Apple News integration
8. Permalinks/friendly URLs
9. Any systems WordPress has for data sanitisation
10. Plus the challenge of either matching the original URL setup or flawlessly redirecting about 20,000 pages.
Also budget stuff. Most companies I've worked for don't spend a lot of time building their own site/blog, and wouldn't budget for an entirely custom CMS build or migration.
