This is a judgement-free zone. Mostly.
Go on, share yours. Rules: no politics, keep it fun.
I will start: reheated pasta and zero regrets.
Caffeine thread because Friday mornings require teamwork.
Maybe this has been discussed before, but I could not find anything recent.

My best-performing affiliate content is honest comparisons, not listicles.
Curious what everyone else here thinks about it.
- Speed first
- Content people search for
- Consistent posting

Learned the hard way that an untested backup is a Schrödinger backup.
Moving from shared hosting to a VPS was the best decision for my sites.
Staging is just a subdomain plus a database copy — nothing fancy, works fine.

Never let WordPress send mail natively on a VPS — use SMTP or a transactional service.
Every build of mine starts with the same six plugins and grows from there.

Bootstrap 5 works fine inside MyBB as long as you namespace your overrides.
Keeping templates in Git finally lets me diff changes sanely.
Remember to hard-refresh after syncing, the CSS cache is aggressive.
I have been rebuilding my forum theme with a file-based workflow and it is so much nicer than clicking through the ACP.
Would love to hear how you all handle this.

Dark mode via prefers-color-scheme is easier than I expected.
I have been test-driving lightweight themes and the speed difference is dramatic.

I debloat Windows with a small script and a restore point — never had an issue.
Went from air to an AIO and the noise difference at load is night and day.
Finally finished the rebuild after months of collecting parts one sale at a time.

Container queries changed how I build card layouts — the component adapts to its slot, not the viewport.
Dark mode is a one-liner media query once your colours live in variables.
:has() finally lets me style parents without JavaScript, and support is good now.

My e-ink reader gets more use than my tablet — the battery lasts weeks.
Handheld PCs turned my commute into actual gaming time instead of doom-scrolling.
After years of flagships I switched to a midrange phone and honestly barely notice the difference.
Smart watch battery is my deciding factor now; everything else is good enough.

The upgrade script is reliable but a backup costs you nothing.
Make sure you take both a files and a database backup before upgrading.
I switched the cache store to Redis and the ACP feels snappier now.

I keep a list of essential plugins and thought I would share it here.
Hooks are the heart of MyBB plugins — is where everything starts.
Remember: _activate() should be reversible, _install() owns permanent structures.
xmlhttp.php is the cleanest way to add AJAX endpoints to MyBB.

Returning true from a by-value hook replaces the argument; by-reference hooks mutate in place — check the call site.
