Making a Monday feel like a Sunday by working on new components for a design library while baking a delicious smelling sourdough cinnamon bread. How's your long weekend been?

We are getting a lot of great speaker applications for #WCEH! Get yours in too: canada.wordcamp.org/2025/this-fa... #wordpress ftw

Well I was planning on taking my day off to work on a series of Gutenberg issues I’ve been eyeing but I instead find myself hanging out with my son in the ER waiting on an x-ray on his elbow after doing a Macho Man Randy Savage elbow drop off the counter and onto the edge of the bathtub.

Tomorrow at around 16:00 (UK time, UTC+1), I’ll be live streaming as we continue diving into writing Unit Tests (with Jest) for WordPress blocks. 🎙️ Join me live at twitch.tv/juanma_codes 📺 Or catch the recording later on YouTube youtube.com/@juanmacode...

Do you manage a company in the WordPress space? Are you looking to give back but don’t know how? Consideration to sponsorship for #WCEH in October of 2025 would be a fantastic start! canada.wordcamp.org/2025/call-fo...

Signed up for a couple years with Hostinger recently but never really took the time to set much up beyond a basic site. Been working with it today and I really like the clean and easy to use admin area, and ease of setup is fantastic!

Music to code too. Can’t listen to this enough!! music.apple.com/ca/album/at-...

It’s the best night of the week, Thursday Jam Session! Missing our usual guitarists tonight, excited for the creativity that will come from just bass and drums. Maybe I’ll run the bass through a looper and jump on a guitar. Might be rusty. Jam nights with friends are the best! 🎸🎶🥁🎧🤟

I just submitted my first talk idea for #WCEH (hint: it involves Gutenberg, a component library and some rubber ducks). Have you? No? Whatcha waiting for? Help us make the second WordCamp Canada even better than the first and be a speaker! canada.wordcamp.org/2025/this-fa...

Don't forget to vote! If you are still in line at the deadline, stay in line! Don't leave. People in line when the polls close can't be turned away. You will still get to vote. Where do you need to go? Go to the Elections Canada website and type in your postal code to find out. www.elections.ca

Having a hard time deciding what I want to submit as a talk for @wordcampcanada.bsky.social. So many ideas and I can only submit 2 with the hopes 1 gets selected.

Hey friends - if you have experience (positive or negative) building Woo sites with block-based checkout, you're invited to a brief interview to help us improve it (selected applicants will be compensated for their time).

Well at least I know one thing I’m doing on my day off. And then I’ll likely start building stuff based on the learnings!

Had I known these existed when I was in Florida last year I would have a lot of regret over the amount of these I would have purchased to bring home. I’m such a sucker for sweets!
