Yesterday I ate my first kiwi fruit (freshly cut) in 25 years. I was always afraid it was going to give me one hell of an allergic reaction. Surprisingly, nothing happened!

Working in Cursor and having it help me build out certain elements is no different than me foraging for code on StackOverflow, Code Pen, and various documentations and cobbling them together in my editor. In the end, the AI is looking through the same things, but faster.

I'm building a client site right now with a child theme spun up from Twenty-Twenty Five and absolutely loving it. There are still some minor gripes that I've had for years. Like, no WP core equivalent to ACF.

Holy crap, Pocket Casts has a transcription feature for their mobile app?! Yes! Thank you for this!

But I guess it depends on the author of that podcast and if they upload any. 🤔
