Video Picks
📹 Here are my video picks of the week:
- Matt Mullenweg and Josepha Haden Chomphosy had an informative chat about the future of WordPress on the WP Cafe show, which was filmed live. It’s worth your time if you haven’t caught up with the latest updates to the WordPress project. Sustainability and other significant subjects that aren’t frequently discussed came up in this conversation too, as Ben Gillbanks notes.
- Kellen Mace has an in-depth guide on debugging headless WordPress apps that use WPGraphQL.
