Preaching to the choir, I’m sure, but:
Equity doesn’t mean giving up your piece of pie so someone else can take it.
It means saying “hey, there’s pie over here, want some?”

I know we all know, but I had to actually articulate this to myself last night…
We’re 10 days into 2026.
Already, the POTUS has declared his New Year Resolution was “world peace” and almost immediately bombed Venezuela, kidnapping the President and his wife.

I sat down with @thewebprincess.bsky.social to talk cultural algorithms, implicit bias, WP Includes, and why our communities thrive when we stop guarding our corner of the pie.
Dee Teal on cultural algorithms, belonging and bias
A common theme in this podcast is the way that open source brings people together and it’s those communities that become far more powerful than the software that we initially got into. In this episode, I sit down with my friend Dee Teal, a Melbourne-based project manager, delivery leader and long time WordPress community member […]

Just when you think Trump can’t sink any lower… Rob Reiner and his talented wife Michele were friends of ours. We collaborated on projects. Brad and I are devastated. We are in shock and grief. Sure, Rob opposed Trump, but this is so beyond the pale.

The Gene that I honor is not a jazz musician representing a #WordPress release.
Gene
I apologize in advance for this post which is going to be all over the place. Yesterday, the latest major version of WordPress was released. WordPress names each version after a jazz musician and this release was named after Gene Harris. Gene. But naming a piece of software that I have worked in and around […]

Mike Demo on Open Source, Community and Vegan Food
If you’ve been to more than one WordCamp, odds are you’ve seen Mike Demo. He’s a Partnerships Lead at Hosting.com and a familiar face in the open-source world—someone who thrives on connecting people, projects, and ideas. Demo describes himself as a “lead handshaker,” a title that pretty much says it all: his work is about […]

In this week’s episode of Community + Code, we’re joined by Christos Paloukas, a performance engineer at Pressidium who’s as passionate about making websites faster as he is about rescuing cats. We talk about what performance engineering actually means, why “making things fast” depends more on people and process than technology, and how caching can […]

Since my Wapuu post (and the one that prompted it), I have felt weirdly even more defensive of Wapuu, more than other parts of WordPress. I feel like Wapuu is something we got unambiguously right.

What if AI slop had its own social network?
I want to talk today about Sora 2 and the new Sora AI app. First of all, Sora is not new. OpenAI released Sora about a year ago initially and, at the time, it was a sort of hidden part of ChatGPT that let you make bad videos. And trust me, they were bad. I […]
