Been super impressed with the user experience of @EventKoi but also the very-intentional approach it takes to extend WordPress -- think it's paving a road many will follow!
Did you know that @eventkoi lets you import events from The Events Calendar?

The US labor force is a living, breathing map. 🇺🇸 Watch the number of counties with labor forces in structural decline spread like a virus across America between 2010 and 2025. Shout out to @JMBDaecius for the idea to do this. #Economics #LaborForce #Trends

When you're excited your truly mediocre, middling ISP is finally getting some competition and then you check the Tea and @om brewed it perfectly, piping hot. Spectacular writing, serious bummer to read 😅 TL;DR - Google Fiber probably isn't next ISP bae. om.co/2026/03/27/astounded-g…

"Journalistic integrity aside, I don’t know how I can give a better example of what’s at stake here. We have an example of what appears to be another AI reinterpreting this story and hallucinating false information about me. And that interpretation has already been published in a major news outlet, as part of the persistent public record." theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-…

Crossed a pretty satisfying personal milestone today about 20 months in the making: 24 doses of vaccines to retrain my immune system to be resilient in the modern world post-transplant. Very glad to be done with arm punches for a while, very grateful and fortunate to get them.

I'm willing to pay for convenience. Time is precious. Plenty of apps and services I gladly pay for. It's also become convenient to cook right-sized, tailored solutions with workflows, whistles, AI and data where you want them. Made my own podcast client and todo/grocery SaaS 😎

I’ve spent over a decade helping others learn to develop, create plugins, and extend #WordPress. But I’d never actually published my own plugin. That changed last week with something that drew me to contributing to the WP Training Team & #LearnWP years ago. courtneyr.dev/2025/12/03/pos…

First time launching a product, and it's a #WordPress plugin called PodcasterPlus Blocks. Still some work to do on the site, but the product is pretty cool! podcasterplus.com If you don't get what it does, please reach out, more vids coming soon! Excited! With @danmaby

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at BlinkingGuy.com

I ran Claude in a loop for 3 months and created a brand new "GenZ" programming language. It's called @cursedlang. v0.0.1 is now available, and the website is ready to go. Details below!

Off to @LoopConf next week 🛫
Dusting off my passport next week for the first time in years—heading to a country I’ve never visited. First season of a fun new job done. Two years post–stem cell transplant; scanned clear of cancer this week. Enjoying brand new moons & brand new suns 🌞 youtu.be/XZf_V_iqvVo?si=kQTV…

Package registries like npm will be remediated 🤷 the real burning question is whether ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot etc. have speedy and reliable processes for un-learning malware once it's in a user's history, in a model, etc... news.ycombinator.com/item?id… 😬

Sometimes when I hit a wall in containers, CSS or compilers I just remind myself I push pixels and PRs not quantum particles or launch planetary positioning instruments 🤓 Keeps me grounded 🌎 youtu.be/5zJbE7J3X8I
