I don't talk a ton about our work at @zaowebdev , but I'm proud of what we've accomplished this last year🫶 We've got room for 3 new client projects right now. We help world-class organizations launch industry-leading web projects. Some examples: 🧵
"Also, consider diversifying the platforms and tools you use — not just because of this but because it's smart business. Times have changed. Technology has changed. It has advanced. No one using WordPress can stick their head in the sand and ignore WordPress competitors." Great…
I posted some thoughts on the impact of this recent #WPDrama on related businesses in my private Profitable Project Plan group, and after several requests for it to be public, I’m sharing it here too! Ignore the gross fear mongering and clickbait touting the end of WordPress,…
yes, to all of this.
Last month, I had planned to attend #WCUS and would have been there to witness @photomatt give his divisive keynote. Instead I found myself half way across the world in Istanbul. For those that haven’t been, Istanbul is a beautiful and vibrant city. And a lot like WordPress… 🧵

#WebflowConf begins today in San Francisco! It’s not too late to tune in virtually — register now to connect, learn, & celebrate the best of @Webflow: buff.ly/45psrMl
Just a reminder that your "legacy" is not 1s and 0s on a computer or even anything you built, since nothing lasts forever. It's simply how you treat people along the way. Love and all that. That's the basic message of every single great thinker and religion, so feels solid to me.
"The open source spirit: To let a billion lemons go unsqueezed. To capture vanishingly less than you create. To marvel at a vast commons of software, offered with no strings attached, to any who might wish to build." world.hey.com/dhh/capture-le…
"Why are you still so small?" such a fascinating question, actually. there's a world of difference between choosing not to scale, and being small. i only see one person in this argument being small.
Maybe I'm supposed to get mad at this, but instead I just get sad. Mullenweg clearly sees it as a failure to create much more value in the world than what you capture, and maybe that's the root of our differences. I see that as a proud achievement. ma.tt/2024/10/on-dhh/
Agreed, and think this applies to forks as well (and my DMs are full of folks asking for involvement in one fork or another, which is a fool's errand along-term, IMO) That said, don't think we're not deep-diving into Laravel and Statamic 😂
My prediction about moving from WordPress. Many people will shout loud "Let's run away from WP!!!" Some will even try. But then they will realize how much time/energy/money it would cost. With adopting new tools that have OTHER problems than WP. So WP will be ok.
If you like to get the original ACF back from @wpengine you can add this snippet to your themes function.php:
People from various WordPress companies have told me they can’t publicly say their opinion about recent events - they've either been asked not to get involved, or don't want to reflect badly on their employer. I'm glad I have my own company because what I say is my decision.
It’s so bad. I’m shocked that Matt and the WordPress foundation just keep doubling down and making this worse and worse. So sad to see such a vibrant community torn apart.
WordPress has shattered the implicit trust between developers and package repositories. Be warned, you may no longer be installing the code you intended to install when you pull from WP.org. These are some dark times for open source.
After 18 years in the WordPress ecosystem, here's what my roadmap would have been starting Monday to do some damage control and pivot the platform in the new age. 1. Conflict resolution. Halt and settle all pending conflicts immediately. Public PR issues aren't noticeable in the…
"Matt, don't turn into a mad king. I hold your work on WordPress in the highest esteem. And I recognize the temptation of gratitude grievances. But that must remain a moral critique, not a commercial crusade." world.hey.com/dhh/open-sourc…
Just bought a license to @wp_acf pro. Want to make sure our sites are getting "secure" updates going forward.
no notes, perfectly stated.
To my friends, followers, and everyone in WordPress, I am sorry this is happening to you. What's happened over the past weeks and is continuing to escalate is not fair to anyone, and you are all suffering for it.
the hostile takeover of ACF was clearly threatened and isn't a surprise, but I am shook right now how any trust I had in WordPress as a platform had just been wiped out.
Pains me to tweet this because I'm such a WordPress and Matt Mullenweg fan But if I wouldn't say it I'd be lying to myself just because I'm such a fan I'm convinced this entire thing is a personal meltdown and it's not his real character So I think everyone should migrate back…
when @GergelyOrosz says you're wrong, that's pretty much the final say.
So this is the future of WordPress. Automattic - the entity controlling Wordpress .org and the WP trademark - can take over *any* plugin that it wants, when they want, and how they want. Automattic is burning the principles of open source for their own profit. A sad, new era.
Running Wordpress is a huge liability now. You never know when @photomatt is going to decide to supply chain attack one of your plugins…
This is totally crazy. Like if the operators of rubygems dot org just decided to expropriate the official Rails gems, hand over control to a new team, and lock the core team out of it. We're in uncharted and dangerous territory for open source now. What a sad sight.
We have been made aware that the Advanced Custom Fields plugin on the WordPress directory has been taken over by WordPress dot org. A plugin under active development has never been unilaterally and forcibly taken away from its creator without consent in the 21 year history of…
