Quick Singleton class to be included in WordPress plugin (or theme functions.php file) that will create a simple Person post type and shows some methods of encapsulating functionality in a class as a "namespace," as well as applying filters to things, allowing other users to extend your code.
<?php
class Sizeable_Person
{
const POST_TYPE_SLUG = 'szbl-person';
public static $instance;
public static function init()
{
if ( is_null( self::$instance ) )

Lesson's learnt building the Guardian

Below is a collection of my favourite responses I gathered from Guardian engineers when asked the question: What have you learnt starting from scratch and building a mobile-first next generation web platform for the Guardian?

  • Work with great people.
  • Deploy like crazy. This means the team has to control the infrastructure as well as code.
  • Design is not a service. Designers have to sit in the team.
  • Infrastructure is intrinsically unreliable. Discard and replace is the robust strategy.
  • Use your CDN for HTML too.
  • Don't always do as you are told.

Building a User Management System in Laravel

There's no shortage of good resources for learning laravel. So instead of the usual introductory tutorial were just gonna learn Laravel by building a project from scratch and that's gonna be a User Management System.

I don't know if my definition of a User Management System is correct but here's my idea of what's it's capable of doing:

  • Register Roles
  • Register Users
  • Update Users
