Yes, I am the (interim) President of the WPCC The cat is finally out of the bag. I was officially named Interim President of the WP Community Collective this week. When I joined the WPCC as a member last year, it was not too long after going to my first DrupalCon. DrupalCon Atlanta was enlightening for a lot of reasons. But most relevant to […]

Yes, indeed, I did join @thewpcc.bsky.social Board of Directors as its Interim President. Here are some words about it.

My current favorite style of social media post is boomers doing Gen Z slang. (Or is it Gen Alpha? I’m lowkey mid, no cap)

And that’s only actually a fraction of the massive amount of documents that haven’t been released (but have been ordered to).

10. Days.

2026 is starting off great, y’all.

The US then threatened another sovereign nation governed by a NATO ally.
Then a few days later, ICE shot a white woman in her car on her way home from dropping her son off at school.
Meanwhile, gigabytes of data implicating the POTUS in a massive child sex trafficking operation have been released..

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.

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 […]

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.

Screenshot of a long post attributed to Donald J. Trump on X claiming that filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife have died, using mocking and inflammatory language and referencing “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” The post appears satirical or false and is presented as a block of text on a white background with Trump’s profile name and handle at the top.

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.

For the past 7 months, I've been running @communitycode.dev, a podcast that gives me an excuse to talk to cool people about what inspires them. It's been a great run & I'm looking at doing it all over again in 2026.

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 […]

The Gene that I honor is not a jazz musician representing a #WordPress release.

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 […]

Being number one in WordPress isn’t the point — keeping the web open is.

@mikedemo.bsky.social joins Community + Code to talk about bridging open-source communities, from Joomla to WordPress, and why collaboration beats competition.

Psh I used emdashes before AI made them cool. I am also annoyed that they flag as AI writing.

…but now in newsletters by people I trust. And obviously elsewhere. I have read many articles about lawyers getting chastised because their paralegals used AI and it hallucinated sources and cases to cite.

The writing style is very distinct, does everyone else recognize it when they see it?

Does anyone else notice how more and more content is written by AI? Maybe I’m not one to talk—I use AI to help write episode summaries and blog posts for @communitycode.dev, but increasingly I am rewriting or editing more. But the cadence of AI writing is everywhere now; in social media sure…

Christos Paloukas on Performance Engineering, Community, and Cats 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 […]

From Chicago to Greece, @paloukas.com talks performance engineering at @pressidium.com, WordCamps and camping with his cat. 😻

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

In defense of Wapuu Since WordCamp US this year, I’ve been making some cute shorts with the Wapuu I brought back home from Portland. I’ve made two so far to promote me going to BADCamp and WordCamp Canada. My thought is ...

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.
