I love WordPress.

[Simon Dickson @simond]

Just landed in WordPress plugin repo: something I've been working on for months, and have had in mind for 10+ years.

Imagine never having to ask a client what they mean by 'broken'. Imagine never having to onboard them to a project management platform.

@JustinBleuel @ChatGPTapp ChatGPT iOS apps (phone and iPad) show a different list of chats than web, seems like maybe it’s the old deactivated personal account chats from before I moved to business plan.

Had Codex turn it into a Codex Skill for me https://t.co/fcHCxyeJ0e

[James LePage @jameswlepage]

@wordpressdotcom just launched an official @claudeai Connector - the first of its kind for a WordPress host.

Connect Claude to your site in a few clicks. It can pull real site data: traffic, comments, content audits, and more.

Built on our MCP + OAuth 2.1 foundation, in partnership with @AnthropicAI.

Had Codex convert https://t.co/2zXQACtFpq into a Codex Skill, publish it to https://t.co/KbJA6nHKYx and then use that new skill to publish a short blog post about it to https://t.co/fcHCxyeJ0e. I drank a cup of coffee and had a phone call.

The word around Silicon Valley is that everyone from Meta to OpenAI to xAI wants a piece of OpenClaw and its creator. Zuck and Sam might even have met with him. Ideally given its open source ethos he should take a cue from WordPress and build this one for the future for everyone, and go work with/at a company that would believe in that open source ideology.

Finding myself going back to RSS/Atom feeds a lot more recently. There's a lot more higher quality longform and a lot less slop intended to provoke. Any product that happens to look a bit different today but that has fundamentally the same incentive structures will eventually converge to the same black hole at the center of gravity well.

We should bring back RSS - it's open, pervasive, hackable.
Download a client, e.g. NetNewsWire (or vibe code one)
Cold start: example of getting off the ground, here is a list of 92 RSS feeds of blogs that were most popular on HN in 2025:

Works great and you will lose a lot fewer brain cells.

I don't know, something has to change.

WordPress runs on people. It’s not just code. It's making time, helping others learn, and collaborating even when it would be easier to stay siloed. My 2026 focus is momentum: clearer direction, kinder collaboration, and fewer barriers.

Europe needs digital sovereignty, and Open Source is the most direct path to it. But it requires more contribution-based procurement. More public money must flow upstream to Open Source maintainers, not just to integrators and resellers.

[EU–INC @euinc_petition]

Ursula von der Leyen just *officially* announced at Davos:

The 28th regime will be called EU–INC!

WE WON.

This is cool

[James LePage @jameswlepage]

Core AI has released WP-Bench, a benchmark for evaluating how well AI models understand WordPress development.

https://t.co/tPKWYCngfP

This is an early release and the dataset is small, so contributions are welcome: test cases, grading improvements, benchmark results.

[Tom Willmot @tomwillmot]

Happy birthday Drupal, congratulations on an amazing achievement and legacy @Dries, have learned a lot from Drupal on the WordPress side as Drupal pioneered open source CMS in enterprise.

[Dries Buytaert @Dries]

Drupal turns 25 today. A quarter of a century. I captured 25 lessons from the journey. https://t.co/ENEK74KFxH #foss #opensource #web
