I really do not like sock puppets in the #WordPress support forums. Coming in fast behind them is work spammers.
They just hurt the user experience when they just want to get $$$ from the opensource user.
*Drinks coffee*
Mind you, I am a big proponent of getting paid and that's a large reason why I like my (paid) job. But work spammers should stop harassing forum users and stick to https://jobs.wordpress.net/ instead. #AllTheCoffee
From AI to Open Source at WordCamp Asia 2026 https://wordpress.org/news/2026/04/wcasia-2026-sessions/ #WordPress #wpnotices
As an added service, we host a bunch of #WordPress sites for clients. It seems like keeping them hardened from all the bots who want in is getting to be a bit of a job. More than I want to dedicate to a secondary service.
🟡🔵 Introducing EmDash — the spiritual successor to WordPress that solves plugin security

The two creators of EmDash are just trolling Mullenweg by claiming their first names are Matt. Right?
Calling EmDash (a new vibe coded project by the CloudFlare team) a WordPress killer is a bold claim. But, yeah security model of EmDash looks a lot better.
I really like that Matt and Matt created. I don't like another Matt.

Cloudflare + AI + WordPress? What could go wrong?
"The world's most popular CMS has been remade with the help of AI. Cloudflare has released EmDash version 0.1, described as a rebuild of the WordPress CMS (content management system) but using TypeScript rather than PHP."
The Register: Cloudflare previews 'EmDash' – an AI-driven rebuild of WordPress in TypeScript https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/02/cloudflare_previews_emdash_an_aidriven/ @theregister #WordPress #Cloudflare
AI is causing errors in my head. For months (not all the time) I was fixing my menu, when js is not available. I couldn't get it to work properly. So today I asked Claude to fix it for me. And it works (only Windows Narrator is annoying, but it's a fallback, so I am happy) but it caused a stupid php warning on the live site, which I didn't notice in Local. It also broke my theme. So I removed the function Claude added, and now it works fine.
