WordPress Studio, l'app de bureau pour le dev local, arrive officiellement sur Linux 🐧 (Ubuntu d'abord). Gratuite, open source. Sa prochaine version intégrera Studio Code, l'agent IA présenté hier par @riad.blog à la permanence WPFR. wordpress.com/blog/2026/06... #WordPress #Linux

💡Ever wondered why so many scripts and styles are loading on a given WPAdmin page? 👀 I wrote a quick post about debugging them → riad.blog/2025/10/25/d...

Cool post by @danabra.mov about atproto (powers bluesky and more). I resonate with the ideas. I hope the protocol succeeds overreacted.io/open-social/ I hope it's not too late, given, the financial and political incentives are too strongly against it. Open source proved it's possible though.

💡You know these weekends, when on Friday night, you have an idea, can't sleep, can't stop thinking about it. The weekend is barely starting but you know it's over already. There's no way you could do anything else. Well, this was one of these, satisfied with the result.😀

Where can I find great-looking demo content for WordPress sites using only default block themes (no plugins)? The Theme Unit Test Data feels… uninspired. Surely there’s something better out there? 🙏

The team and @neel.sh have been working on this tirelessly and they're just getting started. Give it a try and build your sites in seconds. It's still very capable but there's a lot more to come as well. 🤖

I've been going a bit outside my comfort zone, exploring new areas in the Automattic/WordPress ecosystem. I've recently worked on WordPress Studio implementing custom domains and SSL. Check them out wordpress.com/blog/2025/03... Studio is improving a lot lately. A lot to do still.

Just do stuff. Most discuss and talk for ages, but that's not the goal. Just do stuff, it has never been easier.

Two blockers prevent developers from using AI: Financial: It's still expensive. Some don't have the luxury to expense their tools. Psychological: A mindset shift from writing code to directing an AI and reviewing its output. (loss of control) Don't let that second aspect stop you, start today 🤖

Just wrapped up my self-rehearsal for my talk on DataViews & DataForm at #WCAsia! Excited to share and discuss tomorrow. How about you, do you rehearse your talks, or do you prefer to go with the flow? #WordPress

real people. it's not about abstract personas or analytics. it's about understanding how real people use the tools we build and helping them focus on their mission—not wrestle with technology.

Building and scaling a great engineering culture is hard. Balancing quality and velocity? Even harder. I’d love to learn from you all—what tools, principles, and best practices have made the biggest impact in your teams? Reply and share your insights! 🚀

Every dev should build an editor at least once—but what about a full CMS? I break down the 4 core modules of a modern CMS, why they matter, and how they shape platforms like WordPress and others. 📝 Read more: riad.blog/2025/01/31/t... #WebDev #CMS #WordPress

There are days where you feel like the king of the world, and other days where you feel miserable because of a small flu, then you get better and realize the importance of being in a good health. Courage to everyone facing health issues.

Hey developers, you care too much about your tools, code style and your perfect IDE plugins/setup. Please focus on the product you're shipping more. 🤺

Hey WordPress, anyone built anything interesting with DataViews or DataForm so far?

An interesting contradiction in Software development is that to write high quality code, one has to care deeply about the project and its long term success. At the same time, you need to be detached enough to accept that someone else's approach/update to your own code can surpass yours.

Thank you! We just released version 20.0 of the Gutenberg plugin which marks the 200th release and about eight years of work. Thank you to every single person that has helped along the way ❤️ make.wordpress.org/core/2025/01...

Time for my annual look at the state of JavaScript Framework development. "JavaScript Frameworks - Heading into 2025" #DEVCommunity #javascript #WebDev dev.to/this-is-lear...

Starting the year with a good morning run. I feel energized, I hope I can keep a consistent schedule for the next weeks at least.

Le mot "Algorithme" dérive du nom du mathématicien astronome et géographe persan du IXe siècle Al-Khawarizmi (en arabe : الخوارزمي) dont le nom complet est Abu Abdallah Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khawarizmi. Considéré par beaucoup comme le père de l'Algèbre et les prémices des Algorithmes. À bon entendeur

Looks like @wordpress/env or wp-env now supports Multi-site and phpMyAdmin by default. Kudos Miguel Fonseca for the additions. Documentation is also being added here github.com/WordPress/gu...

it’s only called a design system if it has pages of documentation no one reads, otherwise it’s just a sparkling component library

Every time someone comments on a github issue "It's 2 years later and this still isn't fixed" I delay the fix by another year

I'm excited and scared. How in the world are we going to be upgrade WordPress with the removals. It's going to be a transition. WordPress developers, please address the console warnings in your plugins. With WP 6.7, you should see console warnings of the APIs removed in React 19.

Controversial take: If you're using React (with or without RSC) to build marketing/news/document websites (you name it), you're using the wrong tool, there are better tools out there for this. React shines for SPAs and the focus should be on local-first movement and tools rather than RSC.

Please consider updating your blocks. Iframed editor might become default for everyone soon
