What this means is you need to fundamentally shift how you think about WordPress. From the beginning, WordPress has always been open source, giving you freedom, liberty, autonomy, and digital sovereignty. Open source is the most powerful idea of our generation. For the past few decades, WordPress was software you got from a cloud provider or web host, such as…<br/><br/><a href="https://ma.tt/2026/03/wordpress-everywhere/">https://ma.tt/2026/03/wordpress-everywhere/</a> 2026-03-12T02:07:32Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9vywelnqp4xacltvv6u5ly5mh8ynjjmntr2t2gy50j3vhzernctgzyz7tau02hvq32xjgr3x9yld3wfutvuh6n5swnrxu3j2nz8q4zhtdu92dj97 WordPress, AI, plugins, future of software engineering<br/><br/>Yesterday I was on the WP-Tonic podcast, and my colleague Adrian Laboş did a great summary of the key points, which I&#39;ll share here: AI security audit wave incoming: Expect AI tools to flood WordPress core and the 70,000+ plugin ecosystem with both improvements and newly discovered security vulnerabilities, requiring infrastructure to triage at scale.

In the interest of sharing your dreams to help them come true, here they are:<br/><br/><a href="https://ma.tt/2025/09/big-five/">https://ma.tt/2025/09/big-five/</a> 2025-09-27T03:29:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8h9x09sy0nzjjfnxacr9jgnawgc2rmjek9tyusy53l7hger4vxygzyz7tau02hvq32xjgr3x9yld3wfutvuh6n5swnrxu3j2nz8q4zhtdunrc8sa The New Yorker is always good, but they’re having a bit of a victory lap as they celebrate their centennial. This article on the vaunted fact-checkers is such a delight, with so many in-jokes and back references it’s hard to keep track.<br/><br/>When I started WordPress, I wrote down five publications that I hoped someday we’d make software so good they’d adopt it.

In short, WP Engine is violating WordPress&#39; trademarks. Moreover, they have been doing so for years. We at Automattic have been attempting to make a licensing deal with them for a very long time, and all they have done has string us along.<br/><br/><a href="https://ma.tt/2024/09/wordpress-engine/">https://ma.tt/2024/09/wordpress-engine/</a> 2024-09-26T08:25:55Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszdhyeranc4cdctdu8spwtle8chm0gfyja0aqf2k72j03fqyw72rqzyz7tau02hvq32xjgr3x9yld3wfutvuh6n5swnrxu3j2nz8q4zhtdu3cz87j Charitable Contributions<br/><br/>I knew going to war with Silver Lake, a $102B private equity firm, they would pull out every dirty trick to try to smear my name, do oppo research, imply I&#39;m a mafia boss trying to extort them, etc. I have kept my personal philanthropy private until now. I would like to offer up one piece of evidence for the public to consider, which is the IRS accounting of my 501c3 charitable donations.<br/><br/><a href="https://ma.tt/2024/09/charitable-contributions/">https://ma.tt/2024/09/charitable-contributions/</a> 2024-09-25T20:07:04Z
