Enough time wasted. It's time to wake up and make WordPress great again. 🚀🔥 #MWGA #Wordpress

@photomatt @imbradmiller @automattic @wpengine @WordPress They’re part of the ecosystem. They offer plugins and hosting for WordPress, indirectly supporting you. Going against your own community like this does more harm than good.

@imbradmiller @automattic @wpengine @WordPress Contribution is nice, but stopping the harm of trademark abuse is far more important for everyone in the ecosystem. It’s not fair for others who follow the trademark to compete when they don’t.

I’ve been pretty quiet about the @automattic and @wpengine drama. Much love to you all. With that said, the hate I see directed towards @photomatt is wrong. Frankly, WP Engine has benefited a lot from @WordPress, and I don’t think it’s too much to ask for them to invest more.

@photomatt @rizaardiyanto This is a feature that is a must for a CMS. It’s common sense. No need to contribute for that.

@rizaardiyanto Or contribute to making core better!

File Manager plugin in WordPress feels clunky and old. So I'm creating a new File Manager plugin that feels modern and fresh..

@JamesWelbes 🤦😂😂😂😂

Lol just had a client tell me they're leaving WordPress for the GoDaddy website builder because it's easier to use. I'm not even gonna argue with them.

@Nejetztnicht69 @Nik21BTC @maternus Dann wäre nach deiner Logik auch vieles über Alexander den Großen oder andere historische Figuren ein Märchen, weil es später aufgeschrieben wurde. So funktioniert Geschichtsschreibung aber nicht.

@Nik21BTC @maternus Doch, natürlich. Es wurde etliche Jahre nach den "Ereignissen" geschrieben. Gemacht um Menschen zu kontrollieren. Wie jede andere Religion auch.

Nicht für Christen.

@RinodeBoer @idipanshukr You said AI writes better front-end code than humans, yet you’ve tested Figma-to-Elementor tools yourself. That alone shows how bad AI still is at real front-end work.

@KariposReal @idipanshukr Elementor to code? what do you mean? And who was talking about converting to code using AI in this conversation? I am simply calling myself a no code web developer and designer.

I used to have the dream to become a fulltime educational YouTuber. Making videos, maximum creativity and lots of freedom sounded like a great plan. And I achieved it, which I am proud of. And it is a whole lot of fun. But after living that life for some years now, just being the educational YouTuber starts to feel off. Always performing, always being on top of the latest trends and always having to sound certain… while not doing much real client work myself anymore. I started to feel disconnected from my audience. So in 2026 I’m making a big shift: I’m stepping off the pedestal and back into the arena. This means that I will be doing some client work again: not because I miss the grind or need the revenue, but because I want to stay close to the real battle and struggles. So instead of acting like I have the answers, I will be in the arena myself and document what I’m building, using and learning. Only from those insights videos, tutorials, and digital products will flow. I'm not trying to convince anyone that my way is the best way, I just make it for anyone who likes my way of working, as a fellow solo no-code designer with a one-person agency trying to navigate this changing industry. That's it. I've also come to realise that in this age of AI (where information is becoming cheaper and cheaper) the person behind the message starts to matter more than the message itself. It made me question what "influencer" really means. Let’s make things real and raw again.

@RinodeBoer @idipanshukr I don’t get it. Even Figma to code or Elementor to code is a bad experience. AI isn’t great at converting custom designs into code, and you usually waste more time fixing the mess it creates. You’d honestly be faster just coding it yourself.

@idipanshukr Oh yea, I have no intention to learn code at this point. I think in 2026 its a big waste of time to learn front-end code. Since AI is able to do that much better than humans very soon (if not already). So yes, I will probably stay no-code.

@WordPress Do you actually realize that the reason WordPress is still relevant is because of third-party developers and not WordPress itself? You are the reason why people make fun of it.

Looks like the Federated and Independent Repository project is going great. This is clearly going to rock the WordPress world. We don't know how we'll continue without these contributors. Maybe they need some REST.

@WordPress @WPTutz I don’t understand why you didn’t build your own complete version of ACF instead of wasting time on unnecessary beefs and just copying it.

@WPTutz You’re doing a disservice to your audience. SCF is an official project that has made significant improvements on top of ACF, and will relentlessly compound due to being totally open and attracting better developers.

Today I will be mostly working on a comparison between the most common WordPress Custom Content plugins (think ACF, Toolset, MetaBox, etc.) And, no, I won't be including SCF in the comparison. 🧐

@JamesWelbes The thing with him is that he’s too ignorant to actually take the time to learn this stuff because he wants to be a modern no-code developer.

"Flexbox I don't think is a grid in CSS? I don't know exactly how it works. I know just the basics about CSS" I heard this in a live stream today from a guy building a simple bento grid in Elementor. I don't mind hearing things like this from people who are trying to learn. But it's super frustrating to hear this from someone who is actively avoiding learning and is encouraging others to do the same 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@thekevingeary Can’t believe even the Tailwind CEO posted that he wants to remove rem from Tailwind 😭

I’m going to have an absolute field day with the comment section on my next livestream.

@adamwathan @jordwalke Oh cool, so the Tailwind CEO just straight up doesn't care about accessibility. What an absolute clown move.

@jordwalke Honestly want to change this shit in Tailwind. Live by the pixel, die by the pixel.

What's the deal with using em based sizing in css. Pixels were just fine. What, in case someone has some obscure browser that can't command plus to increase the size of everything? Just one more way to gatekeep web dev and make it more complicated.

@jordwalke This is very disrespectful. Do you simply not care about accessibility? Just because something is complicated doesn’t mean people with disabilities should be ignored.

@jeffr0 He never answered. Total BS.

Any other agencies or folks here with this line of thinking?

@ninjaparade @tailwindcss BEM way better

for anyone out there that ever fought about how "bad" @tailwindcss is or that "BEM is better" You all need to check your heads.

@owendesign Do you have any real example websites that you’ve actually built with AI? Because that doesn’t sound real… honestly, it feels a bit made-up.

We're done with WordPress. Our agency is abandoning WordPress development this year for a full AI-driven workflow. The result: websites that are faster to build, smarter to manage, and actually adapt to what clients need... not what a template allows. Most agencies won't make this move for another 2-3 years. By then, their clients will already be behind. If your website isn't AI-driven by 2026, you're going to be left behind. P.S. If you're currently on a WordPress site and a client, we'll still support you, but we're also going to encourage you to upgrade to the future.

@SethRubenstein It’s 2026 — a little too late. I only use Gutenberg for blog posts, but otherwise I don’t understand why development is so slow. Other third-party developers implement this in a day.

Cough cough, Gutenberg watchers, might want to subscribe to updates on this one github.com/WordPress/gute…

@ShitpostGate I’m pretty sure he sold his bitcoins way too early, and now he’s trying to make money with these weird coins. Otherwise, it just doesn’t make sense.

@photomatt @WordPress Yeah, just say Gutenberg is great. Don’t say anything against it, otherwise it’s instantly toxic. 😂😂

Mike, thank you for how you show up in @WordPress discourse, in your prose and your code, I really appreciate how you try to elevate the conversation.

@tobi_salami_ @thekevingeary @mikemcalister He would retire you in a debate. Better stick to posting on X 😂🤣

@thekevingeary @KariposReal @mikemcalister Context for Everyone to see: x.com/tobi_salami_/s…

Effective immediately, I hereby place @thekevingeary on X probation for the crime of relentless negativity and having zero chill. However, I'm giving him a chance to turn his online life around before he becomes the first and only person I've ever blocked.

@tobi_salami_ @mikemcalister @thekevingeary Yeah Tobi, you are right—it's all just jokes and games.

@KariposReal @mikemcalister @thekevingeary Why are you calling that an attack now? You know we were all just kidding on that livestream. In the same YouTube comments, scroll and screenshot my response. And did you see that Kevin put my comment on the screen and made fun of himself?
