The man, myth, and legend @VitoPeleg and @LordsOfUptime kicking off CloudFest 2026 with a bang!

@P_Kirstukas Labas! In Chicago!

Hey! Greetings from 🇱🇹Vilnius, Lithuania. Where are you from?

I was recently a guest on the Nice Doin’ Business With Ya podcast to chat about all things privacy. This was a good one! youtube.com/watch?v=LhQ6eJ…

"Making policies almost enjoyable" - I think we found Termageddon's new tagline during our latest podcast interview. Thank you Abby and the Content Lab crew for putting this all together! Interview: contentgoodies.com/cg-podcast/epi…

@syntaxfm (On a Friday) Push to production.

scare a developer in 3 words

@gridpane @Codie_Sanchez Doesn’t work necessarily in reverse though

@Codie_Sanchez Oh snap… that’s a goodie.

@OliverSild @MSPglobalevent Okay that’s the most clever booth I’ve ever seen in my life

The situation with websites security is totally fine. Just 500,000 websites hacked in last year alone. Our team is currently at @MSPglobalevent , so if you’re around - give our booth a visit!

@BlakeWhittle7 Deal! I get down there several times a year (living in West Chicago)

@DeepSpaceHans So cool!! Yeah haha property taxes and roads are ridiculous. Other than that is wonderful. Avanatis is the best - gondolas, tortellini, etc. If you’re ever down here, happy to grab lunch!

Got the degree up on the wall 4.5 years later!

@BlakeWhittle7 Of course!! Went to BHS; countless friends went to ISU for college. Love btown (minus the property taxes lol) Now I want avanti’s for lunch lol

@DeepSpaceHans Wow! I live in Normal now. Stayed here after college. Originally from Pontiac if you know where that is.

@gridpane @ianmisner @termageddon I miss chatting with you Patrick - call me some time!

@ianmisner Yeah, exactly. Plugin shops that have great support carry the water for other plugin shops. Hans and Donata at @termageddon get to carry the water for Divi more than they'd like. All of us have to carry the water for GoDaddy. It's a vicious cycle.

If a user (anywhere, on any platform, of any product/service) has a good "support" experience they'll keep leaning on that support. So if you average single digit minute response times 24/7/365 and consistent 95%+ CSAT scores, you're bound to get a TON of support requests that have absolutely nothing to do with you. As much as I like to bag on companies like WPEngine and Kinsta and (a very short list of) others, they ALSO carry an enormous amount of water for the wider WP ecosystem. If every proper managed WordPress host disappeared tomorrow a whole bunch of plugin and theme shops would drown within a week. So hat tip to the other folks in the arena. It's noble work, even when it's not "your" job to do it. Especially then.

@SusieM414141 Van Halen’s Jump was what did it for me as a kid

@arniepalmer Looks outstanding

Popping to your local just gives off good vibes. Even when you're on your own. #solodining and yes... that is a pizza and Chips!

@westguard If this ended up getting recorded I would totally give it a listen

Today’s unplanned comedy episode: hopped on a podcast call, I thought he invited me, he thought I invited him. Two hosts, no guests, just us laughing at our scheduling fail. Hilarious! A great end to the week!

@DuaneStorey @heyamberhinds Came here to recommend same thing. I think this is a great move / response.

@heyamberhinds I think that's good. If he doesn't, it's on him. I wouldn't worry too much, if it was factually correct he can huff and puff all he wants.

Stressor of the day: a plugin company included in one of our blog posts comparing accessibility has gotten mad and has both A) threatened to sue me unless I retest (for free) their plugin and verify all fixes, then update the blog post on their specified timeline, and B) wrote a ton of retaliatory negative reviews of our plugin and company across the internet (including one in which they lied and said they hired/paid us to audit). They aren't mad that the blog post is inaccurate (they acknowledged it was factual at the time of publication), just mad that it hasn't been updated for their latest version. I do my best to retest plugins/themes, and update old blog posts. However, I cannot guarantee a timeline, as this type of accessibility testing is unpaid and requires a significant time commitment to set up a staging copy of a plugin and thoroughly test it. I have to fit it in around my client work, other volunteer work, and family time. Weeks ago, I offered to add a link to an Accessibility Conformance Report or statement from a different trusted accessibility specialist if they could provide one, but they didn't send one over. (Likely because they haven't hired anyone to test it and can't provide proof of accessibility.) How are people handling the update of old content that may not be accurate, particularly if it requires a significant time investment to retest?

@markjszymanski That’s shitty

I have terrible news... Our bidet is broken 😭
