Alright, I'm publishing it. I've had a lot of questions over the last few weeks about how @Ghost is going to avoid ending up in the same situation as WordPress. A lot of trust in open source has been broken. So, I spent some time writing up how we structure and think about

Well this is a bit of a dream come true: I have my own show at the @RoyalAlbertHall on Thursday 15th May! I can't explain how much of a pinch-me moment this is. As if it wasn't surreal enough already, I'm so excited that I'll be premiering two new pieces at this concert - a new

Just came across https://t.co/0hbOqnNFlw - is this an attempt to build an open community outside of the control of Automattic? Good domain, doesn't seem to be active. The talk of "brands" is a bit odd. #wordpress

Over the past couple of weeks, we've noticed an increasing number of plugins not receiving updates through WordPress.org. Some have been banned and others cannot log in to their WordPress.org...

I’m not a Rails programmer but this is a great talk on the value of SQLite and how you can use it in production to simplify your stack. In the PHP world @laravelphp now defaults to SQLite and I’ve seen more and more interesting use cases for SQLite recently.
SQLite needs fine-tuning, but with Rails 8, the Rails framework now does *all* of the configuration and usage tuning for you, invisibly. This is the culmination of over a year of effort from myself and the community at large, and I could not be more proud or excited!

This is a brilliant experiment by Drupal Founder Dries Buytaert on sustainable hosting. It’s really good to see tech leaders exploring ideas like this and sharing their knowledge. It’s what the web is great at! #Sustainability
Blog: I'm excited to share an experiment I've been working on: a solar-powered, self-hosted website running on a Raspberry Pi.
