At work, when developing WordPress sites we share the same database and media files between all developers as well as with staging. This means, that every time someone uploads a new image to the WordPress media library, the image needs to be transferred to other developers as well.

Fighting against work boreout
In the Finnish coding related Slack community, Koodiklinikka, was a good discussion about work boreout. That discussion got me thinking, and I almost said that I’ve never suffered such a thing. In fact, it has happened once. So I thought, why not share few tips on how I battled it then and how I battle …
WordPress and climate emergency
Climate emergency is here. There’s no doubt about that. We are not here for me to tell everyone what climate emergency means or what it causes to everyone’s daily life in the coming years.

How to disable user status updates in BuddyPress

Ekologista ja eettistä sähköä etsimässä
Vanha määräaikainen sähkösopimukseni on umpeutumassa pian ja se herätti kilpailuttamaan uuden sopimuksen. Viimeksi kaksi vuotta sitten sähkösopimusta tehdessäni elämäntilanne oli sellainen, että halusin lähinnä helpoimman järkevähintaisen sopimuksen.
