Preaching to the choir, I’m sure, but:

Equity doesn’t mean giving up your piece of pie so someone else can take it.

It means saying “hey, there’s pie over here, want some?”

From Chicago to Greece, @paloukas.com talks performance engineering at @pressidium.com, WordCamps and camping with his cat. 😻
Christos Paloukas on Performance Engineering, Community, and Cats
In this week’s episode of Community + Code, we’re joined by Christos Paloukas, a performance engineer at Pressidium who’s as passionate about making websites faster as he is about rescuing cats. We talk about what performance engineering actually means, why “making things fast” depends more on people and process than technology, and how caching can […]

Is it me or is it objectively true that Tesla drivers drive faster than everyone else?

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Since my Wapuu post (and the one that prompted it), I have felt weirdly even more defensive of Wapuu, more than other parts of WordPress. I feel like Wapuu is something we got unambiguously right.

In defense of Wapuu
Since WordCamp US this year, I’ve been making some cute shorts with the Wapuu I brought back home from Portland. I’ve made two so far to promote me going to BADCamp and WordCamp Canada. My thought is ...

My recap for @wordcampcanada.bsky.social
WordCamp Canada, eh?
Last week, I took my first trip to Canada for WordCamp Canada 2025 (WCEH). Anyone who follows me on social media, may have seen the video I recorded in anticipation of the trip. While sadly I didn’t do a lot of exploring, I had a number of takeaways from the event. Organization There have been […]

FusionAuth’s @maida.kim joins @jazzsequence.com and shares her path through DevRel, why identity work matters, and how art helps her stay balanced.

In this episode of Community + Code, Kim talks about her journey through Developer Relations and how she found herself coming back again […]

In case you missed it last week (and if you did, you should really *hit subscribe* 😉), the newest episode of Community + Code dropped. This time, I chat with @karmatosed.art about building products, the company she co-founded Guildenberg, AI and burnout.

What if there was an entire social media platform based around AI slop. Guess what! There is!
What if AI slop had its own social network?
I want to talk today about Sora 2 and the new Sora AI app. First of all, Sora is not new. OpenAI released Sora about a year ago initially and, at the time, it was a sort of hidden part of ChatGPT that let you make bad videos. And trust me, they were bad. I […]

This week I learned that an anti-Wapuu community exists that believes Wapuu is at best irrelevant and at worst detrimental to #WordPress. I disagree.
In defense of Wapuu
Since WordCamp US this year, I’ve been making some cute shorts with the Wapuu I brought back home from Portland. I’ve made two so far to promote me going to BADCamp and WordCamp Canada. My thought is that, in my role as Developer Advocate, I kind of need a “personal brand” and be doing things […]

I just realized that there’s a particular AI content tic that I didn’t know I knew:

“This isn’t just {some thing}. This is {the same thing reframed as something groundbreaking}.”

I appreciate Clockwise, but, Product people, Marketing people: do better, please.

Screenshot of a quote by Theodore Roosevelt: “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” - Theodore Roosevelt, 1918.
