Pretty exciting news to share today. I don't always share with whom I'm partnering, but this time, it's special.

I'm partnering with Greyd.Suite to consult them on strategic and technical topics.

I asked Cursor to help me add correct indentation to a file and while generating it, it ended up throwing an error. While it worked on other files yesterday, it's not working today.

Anyone know any good resources how to use Cursor?

I was wondering why Twitter didn't work all day and no one else seemed to complain about it online, so I was curious... Turning off that one browser extension that made it halfway usable made it work again, so it looks like it's blocking viewing the content when the extension is active.

This week's learning: Safari is the new Internet Explorer.

Added what I thought is an accessibility improvement? Safari just doesn't display those items anymore.

Trying to use a z-index? Well good luck if the rendering stack is turning out what you want it to be... or not.

Almost as good as the fact that @jessicalyschik.com and @karmatosed.art are being sponsored to work on WordPress is the explanation of why they are sponsored:

“If you rely on an open-source platform, you have a responsibility to support the people who make it better.”

If they:
-know everything about you
-are always offering you things you’ve mentioned liking in the past
-want to know where you are
That’s not your significant other. That’s internet cookies.

I have been missing the "What's new in Gutenberg?" posts on the Make Core blog lately, as I found this always to be helpful when checking what just got merged. So I decided to ask if any help is needed and how to make these, and did one this past weekend:

What’s new in Gutenberg 20.1 and 20.2?
This time, due to the smaller sizes of the releases, this post contains information for both the 20.1 (22 January) and 20.2 (5 February) releases. “What’s new in Gutenberg…” posts (labeled with the…

Summarized my contributions to WP in January and shared a few thoughts like:

TIL that when having a word with ß (lowercase sharp s) and using text-transform: uppercase, it will always convert into SS (two uppercase regular s) instead of the capital version which is ẞ.

The fun with special characters. 🙃

Anyway, just submitted my one speaker application that I had in mind for a couple weeks now for WordCamp Europe.

Still thinking about sending in a second speaker application for WCEU, but I totally don't know what I should propose. Or maybe I just leave it at one application?
