I have been missing the "What's new in Gutenberg?" posts on the Make Core blog lately, as I found this always to be helpful when checking what just got merged. So I decided to ask if any help is needed and how to make these, and did one this past weekend: make.wordpress.org/core/2025/02...

Building software is like playing an open-world RPG.🎮 The main quest is shipping features. The side quests are fixing debt, improving performance and tooling. Ignore them, progress slows. Obsess over them, you forget the goal. Balance is key. Here’s how I approach it ⬇️ riad.blog/2025/02/07/m...

Building and scaling a great engineering culture is hard. Balancing quality and velocity? Even harder. I’d love to learn from you all—what tools, principles, and best practices have made the biggest impact in your teams? Reply and share your insights! 🚀

Did you know you can personally sponsor #WordPress contributors & help advance the #OpenWeb (even if you don't have the time or ability to do so personally)? Check out github.com/aurooba/spon... to find lots of folks like @aaron.jorb.in @karmatosed.art that are actively leading releases!

Thank you! We just released version 20.0 of the Gutenberg plugin which marks the 200th release and about eight years of work. Thank you to every single person that has helped along the way ❤️ make.wordpress.org/core/2025/01...

Aaron is another contributor you could also sponsor and help keep the WordPress project moving along. His work is tireless, and he is truly amazing. He does so much unseen, with a heart of open source. Please consider supporting him this year if you can. Having people like him contributing matters.

There are many contributors to WordPress like me looking for sponsorship. This year consider sponsoring us. My focus today is on design system, clearing old tickets both through triage / commit and extensibility. I also always adore default theme triage and design reviews. github.com/sponsors/kar...

Now more than ever it's important for organizations that want to see WordPress continue to succeed to step up. I continue to be in search of more sponsors for the work I do on WordPress core. github.com/sponsors/aar...

I think this year, I want to experiment and build a RichText editor primarily for learning purposes. @riad.blog I think you mentioned doing the same in the past. Do you still have a repo?

This is so spot on. Two things: 1. Being focused on producing output the fastest way possible means that you will never prioritize "going deep" 2. Going deep (and down the rabbit hole) is how you learn more: but you need to balance it. Figure out how to do both: it's tricky!

I can't believe I finished a task that usually turns me into a procrastination super saiyan, months ahead of schedule. Here's a draft of the first dev note for #WordPress 6.8.

It's all quiet and cozy in the Gutenberg repo today, plus my neighbors are blasting Georgian covers of famous Christmas jingles 🎄

I wish GitHub had possible duplicate suggestions when someone creates an issue. I think Stack Overflow used to do this.
