What keeps a brilliant editor like @cherilucasrowlands.com coming back to Automattic after 13 years?

Hint: it’s not just the work—it’s the people, the mission, and the freedom to create from anywhere. 🌍

If that resonates, we’re hiring! 👀

Read onlineIssue #344 | October 11, 2025 Howdy, After meeting so many people at WordCamp Gdynia, on the plane and then on the train, I caught a nasty cold and struggled all week. I call this stage mushbrain, and everything becomes much harder, especially reading comprehension suffers. I am over it now, though. It also wasn't the first time that I sounded horsey on a podcast episode.
