Love seeing folks embrace FSE and core blocks. 😊

I've just checked the Kadence license on my personal website: it's still available - labeld as Legacy - and I was able to run the latest updates.
However, it's time to switch to FSE and Core blocks.
Goodbye, @KadenceWP , it's been a long journey together!

Ollie AI is here!
We're doing things a little different (as usual). Instead of a bulky AI thing that aims to do everything, we're taking a more measured approach by layering AI into the features you already love.
High-caliber design 🤝 AI superpowers

🚨 Wow. 🚨
“Today, Matt made the decision to remove real-time collaboration from WordPress 7.0 and shared that he is not confident the current approach is robust enough to include in Core at this time, citing concerns around surface area, race conditions, server load, memory efficiency, and recurring bugs found through fuzz testing.”

Do you also feel like every morning brings a new LLM, a new protocol, or another 'AI game-changer' to deal with?
I find myself deep in complex technical challenges every day, and sometimes feel the need to zoom out a bit and focus on the "why" first.
