I am still wrapping my head around the tangled web of how this house of cards is stacked. The Exec Dir does the role well, but is paid by Automattic itself. In other OSS, if the project isn't owned by a company, the Foundation pays that staff so that things remain impartial. Also, hosting arrangments may be clear as mud as well for what Matt considers his personal site, that isn't part of the foundation either. I'm waiting for quality journalistic coverage to shed light to the public why this is such a mess. https://whichwpisit.com
Huzzah! :-)
Hey what do you think about the shakeup at Automattic?
I have opinions myself -- when I first saw the list of people who directly report to Matt I thought there's a problem there. And over about three years, I've only had one conversation with him, even though we were doing a lot of new development on WordPress, really good stuff, but I don't think it every got through.
I still think the world needs a more broadly usable WordPress, a simple way of writing web text that fits into a larger chronological framework. If they get a new CEO I hope they're thinking more broadly about products and different kinds of users.
Now I wonder if this message will cross the divide?
Dave - I have https://courtneyr.dev/2026/09/09/wild-turkeys-strutting-through-the-neighborhood/ the comments porting back and forth to the source post. I can specify if I want to always send or never send to demo.rss.chat, override my default setting on a per-post basis, and comment on the post on my own site, which appropriately notifies you here. Huzzah! Maybe when I grow up I'll be a developer. 😆
My dog was very excited when they converged in our back yard just after this sighting!
That’s a lot of turkeys! 🦃
Labour Day Weekend is when web-based software is at its buggiest. Ask me how I know.
Yeah. Also, something doesn’t feel right about that report.
smart feed readers strip all that bs out. ;-)
Beautiful watercolor illustration to this comic novel.

When the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
When the risk to feel embarrassed becomes more painful than the risk it takes to try. Well, I know which risk I’d rather take. I need to take. It’s the same one I want for y’all…

Nice sky!
It would be wonderful is some future AI came up with a cure for cancer. Less so if the AI decides who gets the cure.
Are we closer to “Users writing code” using the microphone? I’d settle for my phone(s) not getting me killed while driving and I need something only found on the internet. I say phones because I’m tracking Android with a Pixel Pro and Apple with an iPhone. So, far it “ain’t soup yet”.
Not posted here for a while, been a bit busy on my own side project and now at risk of redundancy so need to figure if I can make money from side projects to supplement or replace income. Naturally the side projects all come with RSS feeds.

Oddly, I had to change my username. Trying just my first name for the username never gave me an error message or email, but adding more characters to the username did. 🤷♀️
Hey Courtney great see you got through! 🤓

🥳Testing out connecting my site to Demo.RSS.Chat. Dave has a lot of ideas for RSS that I can’t wait to see happen.
