WordPress Block Editor is now a part of WordPress for over two years, and over this time, a significant work has gone into editor. And, it is obvious that block development is becoming increasingly important part of WordPress development.
One of the areas of WordPress that, in my opinion, is not covered by a lot of quality plugins, is developer-oriented – debugging. There are maybe two good plugins available right now, and I have recently decided to change that.
I have been working in web development for a while now, and in the last 12 years, all my work has been around WordPress. With that said, having an all-round, easy to use development web server is essential to keep things organized, to test the code and not waste time on settings new environments, and reinventing the wheel with each project.
As a primarily WordPress developer, all the code I wrote for my plugins was following old standards WordPress used (and for the most part, it still does), and that is working without namespacing of the PHP code.
I don’t make changes to my development setup very often, but this year was very important in terms of massive changes that included both hardware and software changes.
