Following reports of Matt's role change at Automattic, I want to assure you that WordPress leadership and direction remain unchanged. Matt continues to lead our project, and I remain Executive Director.
I'm grateful to everyone making this possible as we keep building together.

I really need some great sysadmin and security researchers to hire really quick, no one from @automattic! I'm on the board there and fully support Mark Davies in his interim CEO role. But I think it's probably good if I move some of my stuff currently hosted there, elsewhere.

Google rolled out a Spam Update on August 18. The update was global, all countries, all languages, completed in 3 days.
And it completely hammered one of my websites!
What about yours? Have you checked?

Sitting in Morrisons cafe while wife shops. TailScale and Termux on the phone, Claude coding away on my home desktop.
Science fiction.

Did you know bingbot requests /?s= (empty search) and with a big Revelansi index that is a massive performance hit. I could have never found this and other random performance issues without AI assistance.

I just let Claude Code with --chrome loose on one of my plugins and bet it that it could find 10 bugs - its trying - I expect it will succeed.

I have some free WordPress plugins that I no longer have time to support and will sell. If you are a reputable plugin developer and interested let me know.

With 7.1 and the chore of testing a dozen free niche plugins - again - for no thanks or no money. I was just wondering what to do?

Personally I think this is a abuse of the system. I think the system should be used only in threat to life situation, not a public announcement, that is what TV and radio and press announcements are for. Do you agree with this use?

Does any one feel sorry for your AI developer when you hand then multiple changes as you change some of your ideas. I do because I relate to being handed work, doing 2 days slog and then being asked just to make a few dozen changes that will take another 2 days.

Yesterday I used Claude Code with --chrome to help me prepare my VAT return. It didn't actually save me any time, but it found many mistakes in my accounting.
