Am scam.

I’m gonna call it the “am-scam.” Selling the dream to amateurs is a popular play, both in software and web design. The platforms get rich off empowering millions of people to build mostly nothing of consequence.

Etch's Auto Block Authoring feature is now 100% faithful and rock-solid — even with components, loop queries, dynamic data, conditional logic, and custom JavaScript. What you design in Etch is exactly what appears in the block editor, pixel-for-pixel and feature-for-feature.

Good news! Etch is likely graduating to 1.0 Beta next week. The new Auto Block Authoring architecture is feeling VERY solid. The 1-1 accuracy feels amazing. Beta will include work on the new Mini-GUI as well as the Elements API needed by 3rd party devs and then we'll be in RC ->

Version 2.5.3 of @_perfmatters is live! You can now add code snippets in Perfmatters (PHP, CSS, JS, and HTML). We built it from the ground up with performance in mind. It uses a flat-file approach, which means it's more secure and there are zero database calls on the front-end.

🤣🤣🤣 Hilarious.

Yesterday we released v1 of Etch's native Dialog/Modal component. Today we'll be releasing v1 of Etch's native Drawer/OffCanvas component. Etch now has: - Navigation (Desktop/Mobile Without Duplication) - Accordion - Dialog - Drawer All accessible, though we'll be putting

The leader of Automattic (who is currently bullying my company with legal threats) and who is also the leader of WP, promoting what is essentially a baseless gang personal attack thread, is WILD. Not a single thing of substance in that thread. Pure personal attacks.

The new color-scheme system in ACSS 4.0 is magnificently better. - Ease of user implementation improved by 150% - Code output cut in half - Flexibility improved by 200% We're using the new light-dark() CSS function now and it's insanely good. If you're an ACSS user, you're

Loving the move to WordPress Etch & ACSS. I really enjoy WDD Live with @thekevingeary Learning so much. Nothing better than starting the day with a Kevin Rant 😃

Just published a brand new article laying out a complete mental model for approaching responsive development in the modern era. On today's livestream, I'll demo each aspect of it to make sure everyone understands exactly how to manage each layer of techniques and how to determine

I get asked on a weekly basis to explain the reasoning behind when to use container queries vs media queries and how they work in conjunction with other responsive development techniques. So, today I published an official article that explains everything you need to know about

So there's an AI "artist" getting a gazillion downloads on Spotify. I can see people turning on "AI artistry" in this form/fashion pretty quickly, but my bigger concern is: how are we going to be able to tell if real human artists are as good as they are, or if they're just using

I'm kind of fighting an internal battle regarding WordPress and the WordPress community on Twitter. The only reason I started using Twitter in the first place was to become involved in the WordPress community. When I first started using it, I was still drinking the WordPress

Are you a chess person? DM me a username if you're on chess dot com. I started a month ago, but I try to play a little daily.

Someone asked for advice on hiring a dev, to avoid wasting a ton of time and lot of money on a 3-6 month trial run. Here it is: Pay them to build a landing page from a supplied Figma file. Tell them to record their process and do their best to talk through what they're doing and

.@mikemcalister is one of the best UI designers in WP. He also makes good products (even if we disagree on philosophy). But personally attacking me and cosplaying as my disappointed father simply because I dared challenge his *constant* dismissiveness of very real issues in
