I'm starting a newsletter so you can follow along as I #BuildInPublic and ship my new infrastructure automation tool. Come join me on this journey! Stay Updated with Displace:

If you suck at doing remote work, you'll suck at managing AI.

Most people confuse movement with progress. Busy isn't productive. Motion isn't advancement. You can run on a treadmill all day and go nowhere. Direction matters more than speed.

Someone asked me last week why I got out of defense contracting. I joked about not wanting to contribute to building Skynet for real. But ... it wasn't really a joke. Things like https://t.co/LrnM2yML8V help illustrate why I wanted to move on. I build for defense. Not war.

Building a product in Sept 2025 on top of a platform released in April 2025 and then learning it's already considered "legacy" and will be sunset in the near future is absolutely wild. Need to stop building in other folks' sandboxes ...

Oh no! AI is coming for our jobs!!! Unless you live in Calfingoan or Wachington, you'll probably be just fine ...

Turn your experience into lessons for others :) https://t.co/HHQbzT2uYh

Anyone have experience using Motion for automating various marketing tasks and whatnot? What do you think? Is it worth the <<checks notes>> $1200/year pricing?

I wonder if @automattic already hosts or would be interested in hosting a vector DB ... There are a lot of potential integrations with not just WP but other tech ... That for now would require something like Pinecone ...

One of the coolest things you take away from #WCUS is inspiration. After meeting with folks and even @photomatt's keynote, I wonder if it's time to dust off some of my old plugins and bring them into the modern age of Gutenberg and AI. Literally didn't sleep last night planning.

In honor of / inspired by #WCUS, I wrote my first personal blog post in 4 years :)

"How do we give the tools to the next generation to not write with a borrowed pen?" @photomatt It's sentiment like this that got me involved in open source and #WordPress in the first place. And why I'm trying to come back. Let's never forget what drives us ... #WCUS
