📺 I only found one video worth watching this past week, but it's a big one:

  • “The Economics of Open Source” was an outstanding talk given by C J Silverio at the recent JSConf EU 2019. Who really owns open source and how organizations aren't acting in your best interest are subjects that touch all WordPress developers. C J's talk focuses on JavaScript package management, but most of what he says applies to the WordPress space.

🎙️ I've had less time for podcasts lately, but here are some standouts:

  • Elliot Condon (from Advanced Custom Fields) appeared on the Pressing Matters podcast to discuss plugin development, becoming a father, running a business, and Gutenberg.
  • WP Press This covers ways a developer can get started contributing to WordPress Core, featuring core committer Anthony Burchell.
