I often have these questions that refer to optimization in terms of speed.
For example, just last week I hammered down a function that rendered some social sharing links that took way too much to load from 100ms+ to 2ms.
It was amazing. Often times I wanna ask the community what they think I sh...
Hey, everybody, first timer here. I had a few questions. I come from a python environment (low-level, win32api with C++ libraries where needed, python for..python). I learned HTML/CSS/JS/PHP and some frameworks / concepts on the fly and have implemented most of what I needed. One could say my theme could sell well, perhaps 2 copies! :D
Now, the problem is that I'm stuck on actions & hooks. I really have no idea how to use them to incentivize developer extensions in my plugins and such. Anyone has any good reads or?
I've devoured lots of articles / tutorials / read the source code of WP but I just don't understand where they'd fit. Naturally, why do I even wanna use them if I don't have to? Just to learn! For example, I'd like for my instagram plugin to be extended, perhaps some developers want to mess in with the image size and so on.

Do not offer an API until you really know how people use your co...
That's a great, great read, @fuxia! I reviewed some of your answers to get a feel of what you're saying, but I'm looking for some "I wanna achieve this, here's the code" type of things. Any resources?
I mean, it's really good, extremely good. I'd like to see some code.
