Book direct @westjet flight to Tokyo, extended comfort. Upgrade to premium economy. They cancel flight night before and rebook me a connecting JAL flight. Lose priority status. Lose seat upgrades. Last row in economy section. "You arrive at a similar time". 😵💫 Le sigh
I've been testing this since version 0.0.0, it's rock solid and a must have for every WordPress site. I'd like to see every webhost on the planet buy this and make in an mu plugin on their platform, it's that good.
🧵 About five weeks ago, pre wpdrama, I started working on the relaunch of the snicco/fortress site.
And... TBH, I hated every minute of it.
I'm used to working all day in the IDE, not WordPress. PHPStorm has me spoiled - everything is one key press away, barely using the mouse.
I started building something to scratch my own itch for what, I thought, would be a quick 2-hour job.
Instead, it turned into something that, I believe, will fundamentally change how many power users and agencies use WordPress going forward - CommandUI.
Looks like I'll be at @WordCampUS this year after all😎 Already booking times to meet a lot of you fine folk, but if anyone else I know is headed there, drop me a message. #WCUS
If you've ever searched Google for WordPress plugin development articles, you've probably seen Josh's work. This is a great ebook if you're looking to upgrade from the ubiquitous singleton pattern most of first learn when we make our first plugin to something more modern.
I added a final chapter to my eBook about refactoring WordPress plugins. pluginmachine.com/course/ref…
What's old is new again 😎 I remember the push for 1 page checkouts in Woocommerce many years ago, and the eventual success of the "Shopify 3 step" checkout that was meant to reduce the friction of too many form fields. It stuck and was imitated by nearly everyone. Welcome back.
Reminder for the WP devs out there! True, WP core will throw a ton of warnings on 8.1, and even Woocommerce and their official addons have limited support for 8.1. Don't let their slowness become your policy. Get those themes and plugins tested and updated.

People are so used to indirect, fluffy, coddling speech that being spoken to directly & neutrally like an adult feels like an assault.
Now this is cool

Trying to remember the last time I worked under 40 hours a week 🤪
"40 hours a week is not sustainable. I have hobbies. I have creative pursuits and therapy and laundry, and I own a small dog, so I am busy."
LOL yeah, you're busy.

That feeling when you try to book impromptu tickets to go up the @TourCNTower but the site is broken it declines 6 cards from 3 people on 3 devices. Broken websites shouldn't exist in 2021 people.

The best part about being 90% done with a project is that you're halfway finished!

Happy to be a part of this years @Commerce7team Partner Day. Love to see what everyone else is doing and proud of @5forests for being a part of the push to make technology more accessible for wineries.
Looks like Canadians need to consider looking at alternatives to the status quo, like @usefathom mobilesyrup.com/2020/11/17/p…
Random thing to pop up in my timeline, but I'm at 37/39. Never eaten squirrel or haggis. Would if I had the chance.
