Oh hey speaking of @PostlightStudio, we are in search of a WordPress engineer.

We're not "a WordPress shop," but we often use WP as a CMS accelerator & as 1 component in a larger stack making smart use of its APIs.

You can read more about how we think about WordPress here

And of course check out our Headless WordPress + React Starter Kit, which also will give you lots of insight into how we often architect WP projects:

Finally, we think Mullenweg was onto something when he told the WordPress community, "Learn JavaScript, deeply." So bonus points for the WordPress engineers who are also familiar with modern JS/Node/GraphQL/React stack.

Me, whisper-shouting in the theater at the Mr. Rogers documentary:

“Officer Clemmons was gay?!”

Child-me’s mind: blown.
I understand why it didn’t happen, but my soul longs for the episode where Daniel Tiger asks Lady Evelyn what it means to be gay, and she explains about love and how everyone is worthy of it.
This is why I’m so grateful as a parent to folks like @chrisdocnee for Doc McStuffins and Vampirina - great modern kids television that teaches children how to be empathetic fixers and to embrace their differences.

panting passengers burst onto full plane of seated people

“Are we runners? Did we run?” flight attendant says cheerily. “Welcome, we’re glad you made it.”

emphatic, breathless head nods

(such good use of “we” in a customer service context)
“we’re all in this together” uniquely applies to a group of people who have opted into sealing themselves into a metal tube that will propel itself through the air at high altitudes for 6 hours on purpose
No, I’m not nervous at all about flying, why do you ask?

Googled "how to disable all retweets on Twitter" and oh, thanks Lifehacker lifehacker.com/how-to-disable…
so glad the "make it exactly what people will type into the Google search box" headline style has persisted this long
also Twitter is nicer this way, and I'm going to RT less without comment myself

I am incredibly sad to see @RianRietveld's announcement today. This is a huge hit, and *should* prompt the #WordPress core and #Gutenberg teams to reconsider and reexamine their priorities.

rianrietveld.com/2018/10/09/i-h…
I'm not a core contributor, but I do follow along in the WP Slack. @RianRietveld (and others, especially @afercia!) have done an extraordinary job working to address a11y issues in WordPress as a whole and Gutenberg in particular.
There are others in the community with accessibility expertise, but relatively few who have the bandwidth to put in the hard work of organizing and managing an open source team.

I'm glad Rian will still be involved in WP. But that leadership will be sorely missed.

Oh hey, we haven't talked about .NET Core in a while. We've been making some progress, here's what's been going on over at Stack Overflow...
- @marcgravell and I shipped SE.Redis v2.0
- I'm porting everything to EF Core (not 100% yet)
- @m0sa has been working on MoonSpeak (localization) and performance with Marc
- @deanward81 has been tearing out loads of old email code to finish the StackMail migration
@marcgravell @m0sa @deanward81 - @kevinmontrose has been suffering through auth code to deprecate openid.stackexchange.com and move us to all-OAuth (and simplify things), allowing us to kill DotNetOpenAuth usage.
- The rest of the teams are progressing on other work while we advance the .NET Core initiative

My concern with WordPress #Gutenberg is that WordPress core developers don't have anyone to nag them with the authoritative voice of the user.

Let me explain...
Here's what I mean. I've worked at 3 software companies and I've seen a dynamic play out that drives great product development.

Great products are developed when Sales and Support lobby Engineering over The Roadmap.
When Support has to save customer after customer because of the same problem, you best believe they will be in Engineering's ear

When a Sales woman loses a deal (and her commission) because of the lack of a feature, you better believe Engineering will hear about it

Oh hey I see people linking this tweet me along with the #StealthJeffHoax hashtag.

Apparently, some people think I've always been a Trump supporter.

Far from it!

In fact, let's take a walk down memory lane and remember just how Never Trump I was back in 2016.
OK actually, let's start in 2015. On Sept. 14, 2015 I wrote THIS for my blog:

1 RT

This never fails to crack me up 😂

*Reportedly* taken at #DNCConvention16 where the #TrollKing was chased down the hall!

I have a special loathing for @davidbrockdc. He deserves all the mocking we can throw at him.

Support for monopolies & worker exploiters by "The Resistance" has been grotesque.

Mock them into oblivion.

I think we will look back at 2017 and see it as the year the #WordPress project started to fracture. As much as the community desperately wants to see WordPress as an enterprise CMS, projects like #Gutenberg show it is anything but.
Gutenberg is a phenomenal piece of software and everyone involved in it should be proud of what they have achieved. But we also shouldn't be afraid to call it what it is. It's a move toward WordPress being a site builder.
It's a shift away from fellow PHP-based CMSs like @CraftCMS, #EE, @statamic, @getgrav, @grabaperch, @drupal and the countless other custom-field based CMSs out there. It's a move away from one of the key features of a real enterprise ready CMS. Native structured content.
