  • Apparently there are good times and bad times to launch a new feature. I wonder where about 11:30am on a Saturday falls on the scale.

  • I’ve added a page to my website to show a history of a person’s contributions to WordPress Core and the props they received in each release.

  • Insert very, very middle class complaint about booking international travel here.

  • Breaking news: still dead. Follow our live blog for further updates.

  • A few days ago Wordle made me realise that inbox/sent is inconsistent and it should be either inbox/outbox or sent/received.

    Thanks New York Times, this is going to bother me for the rest of my life.

  • I’d love to know how big a spike iView is getting as Australian nerds rewatch Blink.

  • There’s something very important to realise about the USA denying entry for the thought crime of criticising Trump.

    It’s not a problem for the next few years or entering the USA.

    There will be a turn back flag on your passport making it difficult to cross ANY border for the rest of your life.

  • I’m one of those people who can’t give up on a book part way through unless it’s really, really bad. This decade’s book is The Bourne Identity at about a third of the way through.

    It’s really, really, realllllly bad.

  • It didn’t have the name at the time but all the examples of insecure code in this talk were Vibe coded. When I included the instruction to securely process form data, I got the suggestion // your code here.

  • Shook Ones, Part 2 includes what sounds very much like the Slack DM notification sound throughout the song. Very distracting.
