@pootlepress That's great advice! Do you have any good suggestions on how to learn storytelling? What resources or methods would you recommend?

With AI changing everything, my advice is simple: learn storytelling deeply — the robots can code, but they can’t make you cry (yet).

Good ideas here! Couldn't agree more. We live in interesting times, with two no-code solutions both emerging at the same time: Block Editor and AI. I believe there’s no going back to the old ways. WordPress is shifting

@riadbenguella Here. The labels are in Finnish, but I hope you get the idea. The DataViews component allows users to disable, enable, or detach occurrences of recurring event. The DataForm component is used to manage metadata. Both components are contained within their own <Modal> components.

@ratsala Nice, any screenshots?

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

@riadbenguella I can take some when I’m back at work on Monday!

This was fun to watch! m.youtube.com/watch?v=vjw6KW…

Lots of changes in WordPress recently, but one thing has always stayed consistent: If you want to change the leadership and direction of WordPress, the only way is to fork the software and start building your thing.

This is not great news. Gutenberg already took 7 years, it's only going to take longer now.

@EarleDavies_ @JimDabell And a8c's contribution wasn't just the Core, it was also documentation and education. With Developer Hours paused & Developer Blog likely quieter, we're losing key resources for learning. Not to mention how this will affect the development of WordPress Playground

@EarleDavies_ @JimDabell For example, I initially scoffed at block-level design tools, thinking I'd rather write my own CSS. Now that they're in Core, I appreciate how they enable more reusable solutions than my custom solutions ever could

What am I missing? Automattic is reducing its contribution to WordPress from 3,507 hours to 45 hours and people are like ”Cool, way to go”. Why is that?

@JimDabell @EarleDavies_ Yeah, I get that the numbers are not 100% accurate. Companies always tend to paint the picture in their favor. But even if we assume that 50% of the contribution hours are made up, that's still like 1000+ hours missing per week! How is that anything but bad news for WordPress?

@ratsala @EarleDavies_ I don’t have any personal knowledge, but I keep hearing this from people who do. For example:

@EarleDavies_ How do you know it was a lie? Do you mean that the vision for Gutenberg and FSE was bad? Or what do you mean by net negative contribution?

@ratsala They were never doing 3500/wk that was a lie and their monopoly on the roadmap of core was a net negative contribution.

Ei ollut Veinin ilta tänään. No, se oli tällä kertaa JYPin onni #jypliiga

It's clear the #WordPress world needs a change. So I wrote a post about exactly that: Breaking the Status Quo: A vision for a new WordPress era buff.ly/4grFfIA

It's weird being WordPress developer in the Gutenberg and Block themes era: Block patterns, Core blocks and desing tools makes me code less. But at the same time, when I need to code, it can get really complex really fast. So I actually code more, than I did before #wpfi #wpdev
