More champions of the relevance of #FOSS, #Dogfooding, and deprecating proprietary close source systems like Google and Dropbox in favor of taking back the ownership of our own data, and moreover, our privacy 🙂
I've been doing more Craft CMS 5 testing of my plugins this weekend and re-used a little trick I came up with when I made the jump from Craft 3 to Craft 4.
I wrote about how you can use the Guide plugin and Craft UI Elements to test out custom fields in your plugins and modules. Hope this comes in handy to other devs out there!
@wbrowar should be an interesting read tomorrow, thanks. Quck aside; the scroll perf for that page on Firefox is dreadful. Lags badly, and jitters on my M1 air.
Not liking other alternatives, such as "Icecreaming" (too vague), "Drink your own champaign" (too posh), and "Eat the food you cook" (too long).
A definition may be:
> Self Delivery is a continual improvement method whereby the creator of a solution is also a client that uses it, gaining insight in how the solution conforms to stated needs, that are fed back into the design proces.
@smallcircles Guideline 11 of the Make TT Software section of #TrivialTechnology (https://trivial.technology/guidelines) captures a similar idea.
> Only add the features you personally use. Instead of adding all the features, simply leave open points into which one may add features themselves. If you do not use a feature, you do not know how one might want to use it, so instead empower them to add it themselves, for their own fork.
Like yak-shaving and dogfooding among software developers circles, cat-herding is a colourful idiom common in community development circles.
Consider that we're all fiercely independent beings. Like cats! So in the absence of a formal decision-making structure that everyone has agreed to follow, trying to get people to all pull in the same direction, to achieve shared goals, can be like herding cats.
No offence is meant to any human beings (or cats!)
I've been musing passively about how I can develop locally while still making #ActivityPub requests in order to test with real HTTP requests, and was pretty close to just deploying my code on a test subdomain (and then making the call to my #Mastodon server — crag.social), but then realized I could just stand up two #NodeBB instances on my machine and have them gab to each other instead

We talk with @skc about Pods vs ACF (in a friendly non-competitive way), the Core Fields API project, and the JavaScriptification of the #WordPress admin.
