A picture of tracking my reads on my blog. 120 books read!!

Happy new year!

Massive goal unlocked: I read 120 books this year (yes, at least half were audio books).

I've been tracking them on my website with a plugin I created called "My Reads": n8finch.com/bookshelf/

WordPress Could See Just One Major Release Per Year Under New Proposal WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg has proposed scaling back the project's major release schedule to just one update per year, citing reduced corporate contributions amid the ongoing legal dispute…

WordPress Could See Just One Major Release Per Year Under New Proposal

Did we all just test out Laravel Cloud 🤩???

So nice... Wow...

Does anyone know if SQLite support is in the works? I've missed any documentation/roadmap/chatter about that.

Well done, folks 👏

No tools, just code😁

Been digging into and testing the Interactivity API in #wordpress. It's very nice and pretty straightforward. Was able to reduce a custom block's 200+ lines of JS into under 70, and things make waaaaaaay more sense, and is easier to manage. 🤓

Big thanks to all who contributed to it! 👏

Heck yeah! Get after it! 😁💪

Same. I didn’t grow up lifting or working out. Wish I had. Hoping to model that for my kids too.

On being a "community taught" developer | Nate Finch This is a post from a place of humbleness and gratitude. This has been my journey within development and it might be different from yours. Take what is helpful, learn, and pass on the gratitude. Web d...

In the last few years, I've been thinking of myself as and telling people that I'm a "community-taught developer".

It seems more honest and seems a better way to acknowledge and thank the people that have helped me along the way...

Aligning Automattic’s Sponsored Contributions to WordPress Automattic has always been deeply committed to the success of WordPress, dedicating significant resources and talent to its development for almost two decades. However, we’ve observed an imbalance …

Wow. 😑

Why is a8c matching who they perceive to be the worst in the space?

Why is “community” in quotes?

I continue to be really disappointed in Matt’s decisions, rhetoric, and stubbornness.

This post has the opposite effect it’s intending I think.
