Great day at WordCamp!

WordPress@wordpress.org

As Showcase Day comes to a close at WordCamp US, we’re grateful for everything shared, from ideas presented on stage to conversations in the hallways. Whether you spent the day learning, connecting, or a little of both, we hope you enjoyed it. 💙 #WCUS

It was so much fun speaking at CascadiaJS and now you can learn all about HTP/3 and how it's changing the conversation.

📦 What if bundling isn't the performance optimization it used to be? @moonmeister.net makes the case that HTTP/3 has changed the rules, and it's time to rethink decades of web performance advice around bundling, caching, and network requests. youtu.be/F7J-yaGQqJI

Our @astro.build production builds just went from 1m 26s to 46s with the migration to Astro v7 and Sätteri. More importantly, local builds on my laptop <10s and the dev server feels so much less laggy. Congrats on the release and big gains.

I still think back to that time when I was included in a mass email and NOBODY replied all. Another reason the folks who speak at @cascadiajs.com are great.

So... @techconnectify.bsky.social any chance you are planning an expose on the VPNs and how they're all scammy trash? Also, I hope you have a good lawyer in case Big VPN comes for you. 🤣😅

Sometimes you get to walk away from the keyboard and fix windows. New flashing, new casing. Hopefully less drafty and more water proof (luckily haven't had issues).

Such a great time! If you're near Seattle and don't attend Cascadia you really should try to fix that next year!

Second day of @cascadiajs.com. Had a great time yesterday meeting a bunch of new friends. Hoping for more today. Looking forward to @brittanyellich.com's talk on ATProto and @moonmeister.net performance talk.

The hallway track at #CascadiaJS is legendary. I've met lots of great folks, including fellow WordPress friends like Jason!

I had an idea for a little recipe app. Thought of a clever name even. Turns out it was such a good idea someone had already built the app and they even used my name! 😂 www.justtherecipe.com

@tna.sh Re: I like your idea of allowing an editor account to "Switch To" admin. I'm solo on my blog. However, simply giving "edit_user" doesn't work cause editors can't list admin users even with "list_users" permissions. What am I missing?

Interestingly, this seems to be a quirk of "User Role Editor". "Members" Enabled this just fine. That's a shame, cause I prefer the former.

Final note, just disabling "User Role Editor" seems to fix this issue. Seems like it must add some kind of filter to the User UI. I think wordpress.org/support/topi... might be the workaround.

@tna.sh Working through the security course. You mentioned length over complexity for passwords and that users might repeat characters. Despite my searching, I couldn't find a WP password complexity plugin that had a rule for "no repeated characters more than X times". Do you know of any?

Today I've delved into the depths of routing and decided. File System based routing is fundamentally broken if you're trying to render static content.

FIle System routing conflates route with template, and to some extent content. Any given route(static or dynamic) is inextricably tied to a single template. This works great for "apps" that have heavy dynamic content and but not for relatively static content.

If the CMS handles the content and the front-end framework handles the templating; who handles the routing? Frameworks think they do. This requires an agreement on routing between the front-end and CMS. But if the Framework deferred to the CMS, that'd be so much simpler.
