@Krogsgard @jeffr0 I wonder if there's a tidy NDA - or disparagement agreement that comes along with that payout.

@jeffr0 Extremely easy path for seamless layoffs. Paying a little to lose the people who want to go is a win.

I've been told by a few sources that it's not a rumor. I don't understand. If you're not with Matt, you're against Matt and he'll pay you to leave? Seems like an odd way of going about things.

@dremeda @KatieKeithBarn2 I remember manually making these in Illustrator. Good times!

@KatieKeithBarn2 45° scan line treatments on CTA's were the business!🔥

There's lots of interesting stuff in WP Engine's legal document and they have excellent lawyers, but my favorite part is the screenshot from their website in 2010. I hope we can all unite in agreeing that misspelling WordPress is a serious crime 🧑‍🤝‍🧑😞 wpengine.com/wp-content/upl…

I’m playing #Wordle, have I peaked already?

@TheJeffMatson @tessak22 @williamsba Armchair Afterhours Track assemble and demand the dirt! 😂

@tessak22 @williamsba WE REQUIRE RIDICULOUS STORIES.

I feel like if you were arrested during a WordCamp and posted bail to make the after party, maybe you shouldn't be allowed at WordCamps? 🤷‍♂️

@andrewhoyer “Not much. One defaults to block, one to inline.” Even though you’d think by the name, span, it SPANS the full width but actually no 😅

You're in an interview and they ask what the difference between a <div> and a <span> is. What do you reply with?

@joao_p_n 7742 and counting!

Reddit mods are planning a blackout tomorrow. While it is only around 5K subreddits, turns out a *large* portion of Reddit will go dark. reddit.com/r/dataisbeauti…

@adambsilver [and/or data attributes]

@adambsilver Does it matter for any reason other than HTML semantics/JS functionality? A link can easily be styled as a button and a button can easily be styled as a link. Users regularly use the terms interchangeably. Is there any reason<button>s can’t go away and be replaced by aria labels?

Design tip: Links are for navigation. Buttons are for everything else. Mixing these up can destroy UX.

WordPress friends - I’m trying to find an article or list of women founders in WP and coming up short. A few “women to follow” who are a broad mix of roles, but not owners/founders/co/founders of plugins or plugin companies specifically. Does it exist and I’m missing it?

@MananaNoMas @michelleames Really, WCEU does blind selection?

@michelleames It was previously explained to me that they do a blind selection for speakers. The selectors only get to see the title, and a description of the talk. For instance, I applied to speak at Phoenix and was denied because my topic didn't match their needs.

So far only 25% of the speakers announced for #WCEU are women (by name/photo), and only three appear to be non-white. Hoping to see some more inclusion in the next few rounds of announcements.

@carolinapoena This was a feature I suggested in ACF’s user survey! That is a great idea for a plugin! With a way to globally disable e.g. bg color options from all blocks at once would be cool too.

Is there a plugin that lets no-code user enable and disable theme.json features? Preferably with the settings inside the Site Editor, not as a separate settings page in the admin. For example, enable and disable block cap.

@MarisaBrantley This is kind of dumb but I immediately get up and have a coffee then browse Twitter and LinkedIn. Both are curated to only have work-related stuff for me. And seeing what people post inspires and gets me pumped to start my own work. It's a mental trick to get me into work mode :)

What time does everyone wake up on the weekdays? ⏰ Early risers... any tips for making the switch to early mornings?

@carolinapoena Thank you, I run into abandoned requests pretty much whenever I start a new project. I would LOVE for some of those long standing issues to be resolved!

Whenever I try to pick up an old Gutenberg feature request or issue that no one is working on, it doesn't take me long to realise *why* no one has worked on it 😅 But I never learn. I keep trying.

@heyamberhinds @jeffr0 @michelleames I've had good experience at other conferences with the Birds of a Feather concept, especially if it happens over lunch or other free times.

@jeffr0 @michelleames We tried to do an "unconference" room at WC Denver one year where you could on the day of pick a time slot and give a talk (like speaker open mic). It didn't really work. Most people just didn't go to that room and few signed up to speak.

#WCUS bringing in professional speakers who are not involved in the #WordPress community is interesting, but are we suddenly going to pay speakers? What is going to motivate people who don't care about the community to travel and speak for free? 🤔 us.wordcamp.org/2023/wordcamp-…

@heyamberhinds @DotheWoo I mean we have a ton of those in WordPress. BUT we do tend to live inside a little WordPress bubble. I'd love to see more insights from people not working in WordPress. There's always things we can improve!

@DotheWoo It says, "experienced, seasoned, professional speakers at the top of their industries."

@andrewhoyer honestly? Laugh, then screencap it, then cry.

You go to edit a WordPress page and see this. What do you do?

@philcrissman @noopkat what? why would they need that? how were they using those?

@noopkat In a training meeting when I was at Oracle, I had to ask "What are 'TLA's and 'FLA's?" and was told, a little bit sheepishly: _Three Letter Acronyms_ and _Four Letter Acronyms_ 😂

@TheJeffMatson wow this is a really interesting topic I've never even considered before! I wonder what thoughts are in the #contentstrategy world?

PSA: don’t mess with authorship, even if the writer no longer works for you. Move their user to a unprivileged role or something - keep their authorship intact. Sincerely, Someone who’s content authorship has gotten wiped out multiple times.

@TheJeffMatson @GoDaddy @Pagely oh no :( I'm so sorry Jeff.

Welp, today marks the day that my layoff from @GoDaddy is final. All of my $GDDY RSUs that were granted as part of the @Pagely acquisition have officially disappeared. No accelerated vesting. I can’t wait to watch this dumpster fire burn to the ground.
