What keeps a brilliant editor like @cherilucasrowlands.com coming back to Automattic after 13 years?

Hint: it’s not just the work—it’s the people, the mission, and the freedom to create from anywhere. 🌍

If that resonates, we’re hiring! 👀

iPhone 17, yes or no?

Trying to figure out if you need to buy a new iPhone?

As it often does, it boils down to your relationship with the camera.
iPhone 17, yes or no?
Trying to figure out if you need to buy a new iPhone? As it often does, it boils down to your relationship with the camera. If it’s the most critical feature, go buy a 17Pro now. If you couldn’t care less, the get an iPhone Air. If you’re somewhere in between and you have an iPhone 15 or 16, go to the beach and wait for the 18 next year.

This year's edition of WordCamp US, in Portland, Oregon, was highly focused on AI. New tools are emerging every day, most of which can accomplish nearly anything. The thing with things that can do anything (sic) is that they tend to lose the opportunity to be focused on a specific context, and as you probably know by now, when vibe coding, context is paramount.

In the palais of the renaissance, and for a few more centuries after that, until Otis invented a way for elevators not to crash if their cable broke, the best floor was considered to be the first floor (second floor for my American readers). Often separated from the ground floor by a mezzanine, so really more of a second floor (third floor for my American readers).
