Our team is in the process of a large #WooCommerce migration with tons of subscriptions and wholesale accounts. I am so glad I found the Safety Net plugin by Automattic's Special Projects team.

We’re getting quite the collection of go to block plugins from awesome community devs, but years of trying to keep plugins to a minimum is kicking my OCD into overdrive. Is this the new normal for block themes?
How are other #WordPress developers handling the plugin overload?

It bums me out when we build some really cool shit and can’t show anyone because of NDAs.

I spent some time reviewing GitHub actions for #WordPress development. Any agency devs using actions or other CI/CD pipelines? If so, what are your go to scripts?

Today is my five year anniversary working at @10up.bsky.social 🎉🤯
I cannot believe it's already been five years. Still feels like I've only really just begun, and am still loving every second of it.
Here's to many more years with great colleagues working on interesting problems :) 🚀

I LIKE using Canvases in #Slack, but I would LOVE Canvases if I could organize them in a drag-and-drop sidebar nav to make a collection of canvases like a notebook.

This is awesome! I’ve been exploring a migration of our docs from Confluence to WordPress and this may solve our hope for a chatbot in Slack that can reference our docs in WordPress.
Example - a very simple agent via N8n who can answer questions about my past blog posts and fetch relevant text (all using the WP Rest API).
This is infinitely harder when your content is inside a black box.

Do other #entrepreneurs ever struggle with letting hobbies be hobbies, or is it just me?
I constantly have to remind myself that not everything has to be a business. I tend to dismiss this as an #adhd superpower of hobby hopping, but it's taken the joy out of things I love(d).

The AI bot in #Postman is possibly the best implementation of in-app AI I’ve seen. Not only did it help resolve a problem, it introduced and explained two features of the app I haven’t used before.
