Hi guys!

I’m making a web app for school (mobile First) but the white space at the top is ruinijg the aesthetic. I have an ombre background só I tried to make the body color beige but it still looks off is there anyway around this? I tried the whole meta head thing but still nothing

I’m building a small tools/content site and trying to keep the public pages SEO-friendly from the start.

The actual tools can be interactive, but I’m wondering about the surrounding pages: homepage, tool landing pages, category pages, docs/help pages, etc.

My instinct is to make those pages mostly static or server-rendered, with normal HTML content available without waiting for JS. Then only use client-side rendering for the actual interactive parts.

For people who build small sites that need organic traffic, is this still the safest approach?

Or is modern Google rendering good enough that CSR is usually fine as long as the site is fast and internally linked well?

As per the title, the image above shows my cloudfare 24 hour traffic, it's a pretty much all junk as the website is still in development with no real users.

They like to hammer a few specific pages, with one page getting 10k hits daily. I've setup cloudflare rules to prevent bots, blocking most crawling user agents, blocking a bunch of url patterns, on top of the usual robots.txt but it's still fairly bad.

I'm not persistently logging then blocking specific ips yet (partially because I dont know how). Is there anything else that I could be doing?

My page website is fairly page heavy, exposing around 1000 pages in the sitemap but still I didnt expect so much malicious traffic so quickly

I've been using Divi for many years now but I feel it's time for a change, it's a bit clunky for e-commerce sites and shops that have lots of traffic and users. I don't want to be locked into an eco system like Divi or elementor. After a quick Google and chat with ai it looks like kadence or astra have everything I'm looking for.

My main goals is not to be locked in to anything apart from wordpress. I want portability, speed and not too steep a learning curve whilst learning a new theme and plugin.

3-year-old codebase, 2 senior devs who are careful about best practices, security, testing. They're also equal partners in the company, so any efficiency gain lands directly in their pockets.

I'm a PM. I asked this same question ~9 months ago and the consensus was: reading/reviewing AI-generated code is harder than writing it, so my PRs would just be a tax on the senior devs. Not worth it.

Models and tooling have moved a lot since then. Honest gut check:

A. Is it reasonable now for a PM to open PRs with code written via Opus 4.8 (or better), on the condition that every contribution goes through heavy QA and testing before merge?

B. Any world where a PM pushes without a PR? Or is that still insane?

Where's the line in July 2026?

Edit:

People are asking why this is even a need. Two reasons: (a) the devs are slammed with other projects, and (b) the info gap between me and them creates a lot of back-and-forth, ping-pong, slow turnaround. On roles: we're all equal partners, so better process and faster results benefit everyone regardless of our traditional titles. And it goes both ways - the devs are free to push AI- or human-driven PM-side upgrades too, and they sometimes do.

I've been applying to Remote Junior Frontend Dev positions on LinkedIn for about 3 months now. Any senior devs or recruiters here that could give me some suggestions on my resume? Also are there better ways to find frontend dev roles than LinkedIn? I live in the US if that helps.

Hello web developers, I was wondering why my website may have gotten banned by my employer? I just tried to search it up right now (I'm on the clock) and it blocked me from visiting the site.

Fox content, this is the website: hidden sitename (got enough feedback thx)
Edit: ppl saying "Fox content" it was a typo "For context" 😭

It's a social media type website where people can sell digital products basically... Not trying to promote. The focus is why was it blocked?

I'm concerned because if the website is being flagged as malicious, that could hurt my growth...
