Jake Goldman

Hard to fully express my enthusiasm for this next iteration of the business I started 12+ years ago and my fondness for my new business partners. 🎉🥳🍾 I’ve used so many apps they’ve built - their work sold me on buying Warby Parker glasses. My thoughts in the linked post.

How can web agencies survive the vibe coding era? I got to sit down with @jakemgold from @Fueled at #PressConf2026. Jake is a wealth of knowledge from his many years of experience in the industry. My biggest takeaway was that agencies should be worried about AI. That's not to be dramatic, that's a truth that all entrepreneurs must face. We need to stay competitive and work harder than ever to make sure our clients get value out of our services.

@ansonmount Thank you for speaking out. Right on. 🖖

Every. Single. Word… of THIS👇

What do @automattic's “Big Sky,” agency busywork, and AI’s future in WordPress have in common? In episode #9 of Greyd Conversations, we talk to two top minds in WordPress AI: @jakemgold & @jameswlepage What’s hype, what’s real, and how agencies can ride the wave. Check it out: 🧵 And guess what. There was SO much to talk about, we have a second episode with them planned!

Catching up on @TheWPMinute and enjoyed this conversation with @jakemgold, particularly from 30:34-37:26, on the topic of FSE and the advantages of designers/content creators being able to work in the canvas. youtu.be/nQNfDNN9gHs?si…

My favorite part of this new e-commerce solution from our team - an easy way to order swag or branded gifts for clients or partner without having to carry and manage an inventory internally (which is even messier when sending sized apparel). 😎

@gregg_tweets @KatieKeithBarn2 @JamesWelbes I think we can be more clear what persona we’re talking about when we discuss ease of use. For people making / building entire websites? I agree, focus on low-mid pros. For people having to publish & manage content? WP’s ease of use is its edge in the “big kids” market.

@KatieKeithBarn2 @JamesWelbes @jakemgold I don’t think it should be beginner-friendly at all; that idea is what’s holding it back. WordPress .com should be for beginners, with .org for experienced designers, developers, and professionals.

Interesting PressConf talk by @jakemgold, 10up Founder, about who WordPress is for - a topic that has been discussed a lot lately, with no clear conclusions or agreement. What do you think of his key points? - The ideal space for WordPress in the market is to provide a flexible, hybrid approach which attracts both designers and developers. It doesn’t need to be the best option for either pure, hardcore designers or developers, and should focus on strategic buyers who fall between the two extremes. - No CMS can realistically be the most economical, flexible AND technically advanced - WordPress offers a good balance between the 3 and doesn’t need to aim to be the best at any one of them.

@markjszymanski @mattmedeiros They’re contagious.

There aren't many certainties in life, but @mattmedeiros wearing a blazer when interviewing @jakemgold is definitely one of them.

@jason_coleman Glad at least one person did… 😂

Every election, when it's time to study the California ballot propositions, @CalMatters is an absolutely indispensable resource. Very proud to also work with this scrappy, high quality publisher at @10up + @Fueled on select projects. calmatters.org/california-vot…

Sometimes it’s the little, fun projects that spark the most inspiration and joy. 🧙

So cool to see what this little @10up + WordPress Performance team project is growing up to be.

@_mort96_ @chip_bennett @GergelyOrosz Yes - exactly. I admit it’s a bit … nuanced.

I am surprised there is not more talk about the shameful and unprecendented heist in open source history that Automattic pulled off (technically: WordPress Foundation, confirmed to "belong to" Automattic's CEO): Like Apple "took ownership" of Spotify. newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/the-pulse-111
