For me, #WPLDN has always been a thing of passion. A way to give back to the #WordPress community. But we need to find an alternative, sustainable financial model for it.

There is no McTry.

I‘ve realised that one of my most important (and difficult) jobs as a parent is making sure my kid gets bored occasionally.

I’ve been building a tool for simple financial projections. Things like: • Could I afford to go part-time? • Should I downsize? • What if I overpay my mortgage vs invest more in a pension? Scratching my own itch, but it’s turning into something that might help others too. Hoping to share it soon.

We are terrible. A few decent results in the UCL papering over a really poor season. The league position doesn’t lie at this stage of the season. #nufc

Interested to hear what #wceu thought of Turin (Torino). I’m here now and not a massive fan…

Here's the deal, folks. I desperately need to make a mortgage payment, and only two clients would allow me to do that. You can pay me now, and you'll have me booked for whenever you need me this year. If I can't find any improvements, get your money back hirejeffc.me#auditing-pro...

Hey #WordPress folks! We're live this afternoon and we're going to be talking about the future for WP devs and agencies, and a bunch of other WP stuff. Join us live at 13:30 GMT.

It was Russell Howard! 🤩

Heading to Folkestone Comedy Club tonight. They have a secret act on who is apparently really famous. Can’t wait to see who it is!

It's World Mental Health Day. I've been on a lifelong journey with my mental health and three pieces of advice I can offer are: 1. Get professional help (if you can) 2. Read 'self-help' books 3. Learn self-compassion (1 & 2 can help) You CAN change your life with a small first step.

Good luck with the course launch, Remkus!

Thinking of switching from (the enshittified) Spotify over to Tidal. Reasons: - Less intrusive UI - Better music quality - More money to artists (maybe?) Anyone else made the switch, or have used Tidal? Apple Music also a consideration.

Great day at @loopconf.com yesterday. Inspiring talks, great food and drinks, and most importantly, lovely people! Thank you @rzen.net and @humanmade.com for organising and volunteering and thank you to the sponsors for supporting. We need more independent WP events like this. ❤️

Heading to @loopconf.com Need coffee…

Can’t make it to this but hope to see some of you at LoopConf on Thursday.

I’ll be there. Can’t wait to be at a WordPress conference again. 🤓

#WordPress devs: if you were building a commercial plugin right now, would you target Classic, Block-based, or support both? Curious to hear where people are placing their bets in 2025, still hedging, or fully block-first?

This is incredible

If anyone wants to advocate for better search results when you're using the exact name of a plugin, this is where to do it meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2642

For those at #wceu, what is your biggest take away from the event? What did you learn?

Anyone here been to Slovenia before? Got any travel tips? "Must sees", etc.

I don't know about you, but I use WP_Query a lot when coding in #WordPress. This article from @spacedmonkey.bsky.social is a great resource on how to enhance your use of WP_Query. Well worth a read. https://bit.ly/4kwUVfa
