Pretty exciting news to share today. I don't always share with whom I'm partnering, but this time, it's special. I'm partnering with Greyd.Suite to consult them on strategic and technical topics.

I asked Cursor to help me add correct indentation to a file and while generating it, it ended up throwing an error. While it worked on other files yesterday, it's not working today. Anyone know any good resources how to use Cursor?

Very much enjoyed this podcast episode from my friends at Greyd (with @jessicalyschik.com with the one and only @mikemcalister.com on how to build products based on the Block & Site Editor of WordPress. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7QI...

Apparently travel selfies seem to be a thing for #CFHack2025 and #CloudFest, so here‘s mine and of course not while driving because we don‘t do that 😀

ICYMI: @jessicalyschik.com and I also enjoy geeking out over WordPress and the block editor - Now with transcript, too.

I was wondering why Twitter didn't work all day and no one else seemed to complain about it online, so I was curious... Turning off that one browser extension that made it halfway usable made it work again, so it looks like it's blocking viewing the content when the extension is active.

This week's learning: Safari is the new Internet Explorer. Added what I thought is an accessibility improvement? Safari just doesn't display those items anymore. Trying to use a z-index? Well good luck if the rendering stack is turning out what you want it to be... or not.

Core Committers Struggle to Keep WordPress Moving as Automattic Steps Back Again

Guilty as charged.

Almost as good as the fact that @jessicalyschik.com and @karmatosed.art are being sponsored to work on WordPress is the explanation of why they are sponsored: “If you rely on an open-source platform, you have a responsibility to support the people who make it better.” greyd.io/why-greyd-is...

Super excited to share I'll be able to spend more time contributing to WordPress and also that @karmatosed.art is now being sponsored by Greyd too! greyd.io/why-greyd-is...

An improved approach to calculating accessible contrast ratios is being considered for WCAG 3.0: ruitina.com/apca-accessi... As someone with a permanently skewed ICC profile baked into his firmware, I welcome the change!

I have been missing the "What's new in Gutenberg?" posts on the Make Core blog lately, as I found this always to be helpful when checking what just got merged. So I decided to ask if any help is needed and how to make these, and did one this past weekend: make.wordpress.org/core/2025/02...

Summarized my contributions to WP in January and shared a few thoughts like: We fix bugs so that the people who want to publish content can do so. Features are added with the idea that it will make it a bit easier or a bit more powerful. And it’s given away for free. aaron.jorb.in/my-january-i...

TIL that when having a word with ß (lowercase sharp s) and using text-transform: uppercase, it will always convert into SS (two uppercase regular s) instead of the capital version which is ẞ. The fun with special characters. 🙃

Anyway, just submitted my one speaker application that I had in mind for a couple weeks now for WordCamp Europe.

Still thinking about sending in a second speaker application for WCEU, but I totally don't know what I should propose. Or maybe I just leave it at one application?

I guess the numbers are only relevant to your own repositories as I've commented way more than once on Github. But hey it's blue and I got the cat 😀

Now more than ever it's important for organizations that want to see WordPress continue to succeed to step up. I continue to be in search of more sponsors for the work I do on WordPress core. github.com/sponsors/aar...

There are many contributors to WordPress like me looking for sponsorship. This year consider sponsoring us. My focus today is on design system, clearing old tickets both through triage / commit and extensibility. I also always adore default theme triage and design reviews. github.com/sponsors/kar...

Hello everyone, I'm back! I have been on a social media detox break ever since before Christmas and it has been a very interesting experience. I think I only scrolled two times or so after opening the apps to see the notifications, but I decided to close the apps again and do other stuff instead.

Taking a quick break from my current social media detox to wish you all a happy new year! 🎆

WordPress Contributors and Community Leaders Call for Governance Reform in Rare Open Letter
