Development in (and with) WordPress.
RescueTime, which I’ve used since they started up, often has pretty good articles on time management and such. This is one. Most good habits are about maintenance.
How to make a user experience that doesn’t suck has always remained a kind of trade secret among those who make it their trade. That’s understandable, but it’s Drupal behavior in a WordPress world.
What’s the best approach to maintenance — in software, sailing, or anything else? Hope for the best? Stewart Brand takes a famous solo, non-stop, round-the-world sailing race as a parable about maintenance styles that will win, go beyond winning, or drive you mad.
Fresh off the heels of WordCamp US, here’s a glimpse of what’s going on in the world of design and development in the WordPress space. There were several fantastic talks about design, accessibility, WP-CLI, blocks, and FSE at the event. We’re looking forward to highlighting some videos once they’re online.

This was a neat post from Joost de Valk back in July where he did some thinking out loud about the challenges of naming in Schema.org image standards to distinguish between featured and poster images on social networks: I’ve been playing a lot with Schema and Social images recently and one thing has become clear:…
It shouldn’t be this complicated… Nice end result though, by using “a potent combination of MDX and MJML.” Josh Comeau explains his workflow from Markdown to static site publishing and an email newsletter. It’s a complex arrangement, but doing it with WordPress is not easy or simple either. Josh writes: Being able to write newsletter…
On August 8, wordpress.org was down for a few hours after a Chicago data center outage. During the outage, a user of a password security plugin reported it replaced salt keys with an outage notice, leading to a WSOD on a customer’s site.
iA is developing a Markdown-based, radically simplified presentation app (called Presenter) that helps you tell stories effectively. Zed is the spiritual successor to Atom — and focused on fast, collaborative editing. You can get it at GitHub.
So they say. Specifically, David Mainayar said in Woo Weekly #399 that it’s the fastest he’s seen, and I imagine he’s seen a lot.
Phone number fields in Gravity Forms can be tough. You may have resorted to building your own custom fields and doing some coding to accommodate numbers outside the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) — or even within it.
