Do you trust a premium WordPress product if its website is built on Astro instead of WordPress?
🤔 Curious where people stand on this.

The one game I played over, and over, and over again.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will be reborn on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. #NintendoDirect

I was there. It was worth it.
A 43% jump in ticket sales, CERN's flagship site going live on WordPress, and an eight-hour afterparty. Kraków delivered the WCEU the community wanted.

Wow, what an incredible WordCamp Europe.
From the beautiful city of Krakow, to the outstanding organization, to representing Jetpack for the first time, this was easily one of my favorite WordCamps.
To everyone who shared feedback, praise, frustrations, and ideas for Jetpack: thank you and I hear you. I’m excited to get back to work shipping meaningful improvements across the product experience, performance, and services that power it.

Made it to Kraków for #WCEU 🇵🇱
One of the main reasons I’m here is to listen.
Since joining @automattic and taking on @jetpack , I’ve been on a mission to make it better. We’ve already made a lot of improvements in a short amount of time, and Jetpack 16 is right around the corner.
If you use Jetpack, I’d love to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly. What’s working? What’s frustrating? What should we stop doing, start doing, or do better?
If you’re at WCEU, come find me and let’s chat.

What do you think about a weekly Zoom session everyone could bring their micro-frustrations with Gutenburg? We can stack them up and knock 'em down.

What's happenin' with Webflow? As WP celebrates its 23rd, I hope the best for all web creators. I remember seeing Webflow come up 10-years ago when another boutique agency moved in next door and were nice, but were all about WF, not WP. How times change.

My heart goes out to the Webflow team, those staying and those leaving. Call, DM, text, I'm here for anyone who wants to chat.

Finally, a realistic golf game. Hopefully they built in the "you broke my pot, give me money!" homeowner.

I've been involved in some pretty nasty lawsuits, nothing on this scale, but eventually it starts hurting everyone involved. For the sake of WordPress, open source, and the future of the ecosystem, I hope this gets resolved in a way that doesn't leave the project, the people, and the teams completely damaged by the outcome.

I have held my tongue for 15 months, but I can't abide or normalize the legal violence that @wpengine is inflicting anymore.
Here's my thoughts on @WordPress's 23rd birthday: wordpress.org/news/2026/05/w…

I was graduating high school in '03, playing around in Dreamweaver, experimenting with Flash. Little did I know something was being born so important to my future. HBD, WordPress. 🥳
May 27
23 looks good on WordPress. 🎂
Since May 27, 2003, WordPress has been blogging, building, publishing, shipping, translating, theming, plugin-ing, and making the web a little more wonderfully weird.
Happy birthday, WordPress. 💙

It's the end of #RadicalSpeedMonth at Automattic and I'm happy to show off Jetpack Podcast on WordPress.com. I hope this makes it easy for you to start a podcast alongside your blog and newsletter, while retaining ownership of your and your subscribers' data.

Adding this to all my skills. I’m always asking, is this DRY?
karpathy's CLAUDE.md hit #1 on github trending.
220,000 stars. most devs still haven't read it.
it's 65 lines.
it took AI coding accuracy from 65% to 94%.
the 4 rules inside:
→ think before coding
state your assumptions. ask when unsure. never guess.
→ simplicity first
write the minimum code that solves the problem.
no abstractions nobody asked for.
→ surgical changes
don't touch code unrelated to the request.
every changed line must trace back to what was asked.
→ goal-driven execution
turn vague instructions into verifiable success criteria
before writing a single line.
that's it.
65 lines. 4 rules. 94% accuracy.
save this before everyone else does.

I've been so inspired by all the work at #radicalspeedmonth, and also all the work by the people keeping the lights on while 695 people at @automattic experimented. Lots of fun is in store. :)

WordPress 7.0 released today and marks my 5th major release since my first install in 2008. The new revisions UI and AI Connectors screen are two of my personal highlights. The wp-admin page transitions, color and contrast improvements, also make it feel like a more modern interface. Props to all the contributors! 👏

WordPress 7.0 “Armstrong” is here. 🎷

Can’t wait to see what James does next. I’ve know him for a few years, worked with him for a few months, and over that time he’s shown he’s a sharp leader who knows how to build teams and businesses.

Today's my last day as Head of AI at Automattic, and Core AI lead for WordPress. Shocking to think it's been only 18 months since the WPAI acquisition.
j.cv/closing-a-chapter/
So much has happened. We formed Core AI for @WordPress, built the AI Building Blocks (the last ships in 7.0), grew Automattic AI from from ~10 folks to 50 , and #core-ai went from 0 to 1,000 .
@automattic shipped AI site builders, built-in agents, Telex, agentic commerce in Woo, Parsely Sage, MCPs… an incredible group to get to work with each day, async or in the NoHo space.
