I've heard you can email jeff@ to escalate further, so I'll do that if the scam continues, but it's interesting that escalated support has no power to either do something about a serial scammer or stop what looks like a scam in progress even when they can see it's happening.

Just had a really interesting experience with escalated Amazon support, where I talked to them about a seller who appears to be a serial scammer based on seller feedback. The support person agreed but said there's nothing they can do about it, their hands are tied.

BTW, the above is a huge talk anti-pattern. In the median 10-minute talk I've seen, the speaker introduces themselves for 30-60 seconds and it's not uncommon to see the intro go to 2 minutes. Why are you spending 10% of your talk introducing yourself? Get to the content!

Really good post on writing/blogging advice for developers by @deliberatecoder: https://t.co/QmfiJTrUmR It's full of concrete, actionable, advice. The other sample chapters from his book also look good ( https://t.co/mqKmJNW36D, https://t.co/FILIggV5c2)

@josephscott You can also do comparisons like React vs. Vue vs. jQuery In terms of Core Web Vitals (which Google says is used as a ranking signal) we have jQuery > React > Vue. Per above, this is highly confounded with what users do, but I still find these silly comparisons fun

You can also see CWV, INP, etc. Those are confounded by what users do, so they're less about the host, but per https://t.co/O6Cb4u2ieu, there's value in looking at the default experience as well as what users actually do due to what's made easy or hard. h/t @josephscott

TIL https://t.co/4tfyLZlXps provides a performance dashboard with slice and dice capability E.g., you can sort big WordPress hosts by TTFB. Below are the fraction of sites that are "good" (I'd prefer to see the distribution, but this is easily available) https://t.co/YkCbFbIyX4

@danluu I think this part in particular is really underrated. Once you can go really fast, things become possible that were impossible to contemplate before. Tailscale wouldn’t exist if we had done things the regular way. It’s supposed to be unthinkable.

A funny side effect of the crackdown on "AI" scraping is that I keep getting banned from sites for browsing too quickly. I barely use reddit anymore and I still managed to get IP banned for scraping (the error page suggested contacting them to license data instead of scraping).

There's been a lot of talk about how we'll see a serious WordPress fork soon. To make it concrete, is there a > 50% chance we'll see a WordPress or WP plugin infra fork with significant market share within 1 year of today (>= 3 of the top 15 hosted WP providers are using it)?
