Today is my second first day at @Automattic. I've had about six deja vus since this morning. Feels like home 🏡🪃

We can run Doom on a pregnancy test, and yet we can no longer download WordPress with a 128M memory limit using the official CLI.

Reaching out to my network here in hopes my connections can come through. I lost my job about a month ago so I am looking for my next adventure. Please share & let me know if you know anyone looking for a WordPress Dev w/20+ years experience. 🙏 linkedin.com/in/bkmacdaddy/
Has anyone tried to speak like AI to their coworkers IRL?
Perfect — this is exactly the right mindset. Exactly, let's unpack that clearly. Excellent question — and one that every ___________ eventually asks.

I just released version 3.0.0 of my Breadcrumbs Block for WordPress!!! 🔥
This release includes support for the built-in Layout and Block Gap (Spacing) features in WordPress.

Just asked Telex AI to build me a block for a buttery smooth graduated text effect.
A few words in, and boom 💥
No coding, just vibes. #WordPress #AI

🤯 Just tried Automattic’s Telex AI. Yes, it’s experimental and has rough edges… but I just built a Scroll-to-Play Video Block with it. Already pretty amazing. And it’s only going to get better. A lot better.
What should I do with the time AI spends thinking?
Should I stand up and take a short break? Might be good for health. Stare at it while it's thinking? Might get better results. See if I can find the answer quicker? Time it just right so it's async and doesn't disrupt my focus?
I think I'm seeing overall better results when I add "don't make mistakes" to every prompt. I feel like there's a default "make mistakes, unless asked otherwise" system prompt.

When you put a webserver up on the internet. anywhere, hosting anything, you will see "the background radiation of the internet", and it looks like this:

AI taking my job.
Me: Here's a .xt trace file for a PHP request. Please analyze it and let me know the weak points, slowest functions, highest memory consumption, redundant/unnecessary calls.
ChatGPT: Analyzing... The trace file is too large to process. Here's what I'll do next: Stream...
ChatGPT: Streaming... The trace file is large enough that parsing... Let me now start parsing the file line-by-line.
ChatGPT: Working on that now... The file is still too large for direct analysis in one go.
ChatGPT: New Plan (Chunked Analysis)
ChatGPT: The trace file is too large and complex for even partial.
ChatGPT: New Plan: You can run a full analysis yourself.
The file's not even that big.🤦♂️
Okay SEO champs, help me out here. It felt cheesy when someone released a theme called "Responsive" in 2012. Now I'm seeing one called "The Block Theme" in 2025.
Does this actually work? Thinking of renaming my caching plugin to... The Caching Plugin 🤔
WP_Admin_Bar should have an append() method for another WP_Admin_Bar so we can continue this trend. Each plugin should be allowed to append only one panel. Paid plugins can append up to three.
I'm at that point, where looking things up in the docs is faster than waiting for ChatGPT to respond. Can you please stop Ghiblifying all the things so I can get back to work? Thanks.
