It's been 9 days. Not a "Thank you for your feedback" or a "That's gonna be a no". Nothing. Nadda. Zip.

If you have ever wondered why there are so many Core Trac tickets open in WordPress. Now you know.

[RUSSΞLL AARØN | #WPSupport @enqueue_russ]

My voice about AI token costs has been heard. Now we have a chance to make WordPress even better when it comes to AI in WP.

A Trac ticket was open. There's a discussion about being VERY CLEAR & honest about the costs of using API Keys in the Dashboard

@gridpane WP-CLI for the win. That's the only way.

[RUSSΞLL AARØN | #WPSupport @enqueue_russ]

@jeffr0 Do it! Our plans got switched around and we wont be up in Fort Wayne this weekend. I think there will be a small hometown parade type of crowd.

@KatieKeithBarn2 @jordantwestecom BURN!!!!!

[RUSSΞLL AARØN | #WPSupport @enqueue_russ]

I gave up on Claude Design.

After seeing the produced product of an animation sequence, I realized it was just dressed up HTML and some fancy Javascript.

One prompt in Design took up my whole 5 hour window. So I switched back to the CLI and I have the correct Youtube Intro.

@KatieKeithBarn2 @WisprFlow @tryvoiceink I use my phone. Even for support tickets, replies to comments and uploading new posts.

And it's free.

@carlhancock The budget got tighter for each year + there was less room for error. It caused people to have to book far in advance unless you lived within driving distance & didn't want lunch or a shirt.

I stopped going after the politics became the talking points.

@learnwithmattc I use WDS-BT on Github and it's fully changed how I re-built my site. Love that I can drop in HTML pages that just render - and then slice those up to make patterns.

[RUSSΞLL AARØN | #WPSupport @enqueue_russ]

@AlexStandiford I'm priced out I think. Places don't want to pay what I'm worth and I'm not working for SO MUCH less when I have something good going on my own.

I don't blame people for looking elsewhere.

@williamsba What is the DNS version of walking to school in the snow with no shoes on and uphill both ways?

[RUSSΞLL AARØN | #WPSupport @enqueue_russ]

@jeffr0 At this point, if the settlement is undisclosed - I'm expecting Matt to disclose the information anyway. Why stop now just because you settle.

Even then, nothing is going back to business as usual.

[Pancho @Panchoavila]

Matt, I’ve followed the WordPress saga for a while now, and I need to say something about your WP23 post.

Eric Binnion just told the world he has six months to live. His wife asked the oncologist how long he has. His mom left a comment telling him she’s proud of him. People who love him are trying to find the right words. That’s what’s happening on his blog right now.

And on yours, his terminal diagnosis shows up as “LITERALLY DYING” in all caps — wedged between complaints about depositions and Signal chats. Not a tribute. Not a show of support. A rhetorical device in your legal PR war.

You turned a man’s death sentence into a bullet point about how Silver Lake is making your life hard.

If you actually care about Eric, be with him. Nothing WP Engine has done is stopping you from picking up the phone, getting on a plane, or writing something that’s actually about him and not about you. The fact that you chose to link his blog in that context tells people more about where your head is than any meditation practice ever could.

Step back and read your own post as if you were Sara, or Eric’s mother, or his kids someday. Is that how you’d want your illness to be mentioned — as leverage?

[RUSSΞLL AARØN | #WPSupport @enqueue_russ]

@jeffr0 Remember sitting at WCUS and WP ENGINE came out and went scorched earth on WP? Me either......

[RUSSΞLL AARØN | #WPSupport @enqueue_russ]

@robclark @jeffr0 Yeah. it's linked further up in the same post.

[RUSSΞLL AARØN | #WPSupport @enqueue_russ]

@photomatt @wpengine @WordPress Respectfully,

Claiming you 'held your tongue for 15 months' doesn't match the public record. You went public at WordCamp US '24, did multiple interviews, tweets, blog posts, and the whole ACF → SCF rebrand/move.

We all want this to end. For the sake of WP.

[RUSSΞLL AARØN | #WPSupport @enqueue_russ]

@learnwithmattc Are you using OpenRouter for free with an API key, or have you paid for credits to use?

Curious to test.

[RUSSΞLL AARØN | #WPSupport @enqueue_russ]

@KatieKeithBarn2 @CrazyVibes_1 Taught us to keep our heads on a swivel and to seriously think about the consequences before you do something. We also learned how to NOT do something 350 times before figuring out the. right way to do it.

[RUSSΞLL AARØN | #WPSupport @enqueue_russ]

@WPTutz @WordPress I'm not sure what you are getting at as far as the design? The green space that goes all the way to the right? Or is there something else?

[RUSSΞLL AARØN | #WPSupport @enqueue_russ]

@KatieKeithBarn2 They want instant gratification and not something they have to fine tune. I personally love stuff like this. Building my muscle cars, BMX race bikes and websites allow me to have time to myself and build what I want.

The freedom I have is unreal.
