Work from home protip: If you’re feeling annoyed and irritated at all the things, double check the time and ask yourself if you remembered to eat lunch today.

The way Matt Mullenweg appears to be burning down all of WordPress' goodwill, it’s triggering the way I felt when Musk burnt down Twitter and wrote this: Building something valuable is really, really hard. But tearing it all down is piss easy.

I’m thankful for ppl like Stephen Robles who shows all the fun stuff that can be done with iOS 18 that I know I’ll never get around to figuring out. 😊

What’s the word for when you text someone a question that has no urgency or time sensitivity to it, and they reply as if you’ve been watching your phone waiting for their response?

“Sorry at the dr will reply when I’m home.” -> me asking how their trip last week was.

If the puppy keeps getting himself stuck under the chairs in my office, do I get rid of the chairs or the puppy? Asking for a puppy named Neville. 😆

They’re practically giving away…. something over on tiktok? 😝 5?!

A smartphone screen displays notifications from TikTok about earning through videos, going viral with new music, and the availability of LIVE Studio.

Josh Collinsworth has a great take on the whole #WordPress / Matt Mullenweg / WP Engine mess… with a conclusion I 100% agree with. joshcollinsworth.com/blog/fire…

With Chartable, a podcast analytics app, being shut down by Spotify after they acquired it 2 years ago (who saw that coming??), Dan at Bumper has some good options for what should you use instead..

Would you believe that 2 weeks in to puppy ownership, my kids are shocked that they have to help take care of said puppy? Who could have seen this coming??? 😆

Neville Dogbottom naps with his head on a mic stand in my office.

WordPress Vs. WP Engine? It Doesn’t Matter. It’s Bad For The Internet. #WordPress shouldn’t be in the news this much.

I can’t wait to tell my kids when our family is post-economic. 🤡 #WordPress

Screnshoot of a Slack converesation between Matt Mullenweg and Lawrence and Alex:@matt - this was asked on X: is all this driven by an increasingly difficult financial position&10;Automattic is finding itself in?&10;Matt 8:20 PM&10;Mb Nope, Automattic is in an amazing financial position&10;1&10;and l've been post-economic for probably 19 years now, l've made more than I could ever spend in my lifetime. That's why I give so much away&10;Alex Standiford → 8:21 PM&10;Literally nobody cares about that Matt&10;We're over here trying to protect our integrity and our clients and you're talking about A8Cs&10;finance.

I’m not really ready to process that it’s the 20th anniversary of #U2’s How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb release.

I should clarify that the #WordPress situation is bad in the big picture sense of the word.. but not like “nazi” big picture. More like “bad business dbag” picture. So don’t panic if you’ve got WordPress sites. Even if you’re on WP Engine hosting, you’ll be ok.

One perk of having a puppy is that you get to use the phrase “don’t bite the hand that feeds you” a lot more.

Good lord what a way to poop on a huge part of the #WordPress ecoysystem. Matt Mullenweg’s truly gone off the deep end with this. No more WordPress for me after 15? years.

New on my blog: The Contractor’s Dilemma: Coping When Clients Disappear I’m sure others have gone through similar experiences when working with clients. I try to keep a thick skin about it, but I’m still a bag of fleshy feelings. 😆

Anyone want to help me test out the (beta) Descript recording studio? Join me now (for the next ~15m?) and chat web.descript.com/room/c8c9… (you’ll be able to turn off video, etc. before joining)

Great recap of everything announced at TwitchCon 2024 if, like me, you’re curious about streaming but rarely have the guts to actually do it. 😆

High of 31C at the end of September is certainly a choice.

Turns out all it took was a venti iced shaken espresso at 2:30pm to fix me. (See you at 3am!)
