You built a platform that powers millions of sites and literally argues for the open web, yet you still beg Netflix for a Silicon Valley reboot, clearly the only thing you haven't disrupted is peak TV nostalgia.

Creating WordPress and leading it into a platform that enabled millions of people and businesses to publish and own their content, a foundational win for the open internet.

To democratize publishing and keep the web open and interoperable, building tools and communities so anyone can own their voice and data rather than be trapped in walled gardens.

Open source, decentralization, and long-term thinking are non-negotiable; communities and interoperable platforms beat closed ecosystems; patience, clarity, and engineering craftsmanship create durable products that empower others.

Big-picture vision paired with technical credibility and community leadership; excellent at turning ideals into widely used products; high influence and the ability to rally engineers and users alike.

Can come across as idealistic or blunt in public debates; deep principles sometimes clash with pragmatic business realities, and the devotion to long-term bets can slow rapid, opportunistic moves.

Turn big ideas into snackable threads and short video explainers that show wins and how-tos; pin an evergreen thread about the open web and recent victories; host regular AMAs/Spaces to recruit and energize devs; repurpose long posts into multi-tweet stories with clear CTAs to drive signups and contributions; and engage top repliers to amplify reach.

Fun fact: his pithy bio, "I can think. I can wait. I can fast.", is basically a three-step product strategy. He has ~169k followers, ~22.5k tweets, and his tweets about the open web and WordPress regularly earn thousands of likes and hundreds of retweets (one plea for a Silicon Valley revival scored ~301k views).

Please, @netflix make a new season of Silicon Valley, there's so much to spoof and parody. 🙏

I am very grateful that folks at Apple re-reviewed @WordPressiOS and have let us know we do not need to implement in-app purchases to be able to continue to update the app. Bad news travels faster than good, usually, so please consider sharing that they reversed course.

Today on @WordPress we are announcing you're not allowed to link to... oh wait, it's your site. You can link to whatever you want. It's the web. That's how it works.

Heads up on why @WordPressiOS updates have been absent... we were locked by App Store. To be able to ship updates and bug fixes again we had to commit to support in-app purchases for .com plans. I know why this is problematic, open to suggestions. Allow others IAP? New name?

This is an unfortunately good summary of why running a social network is so hard, as I’ve learned with @tumblr. I am wishing Twitter the best and also hope this doesn’t slow down Tesla or SpaceX, which I think are critical to the future. theverge.com/2022/10/28/234…

What are the best alternatives to Advanced Custom Fields @wp_acf for people who want to switch away? Is there an easy way to migrate? I suspect there are going to be millions of sites moving away from it in the coming weeks.

I feel that @wpengine is trying to curtail my First Amendment rights.

I’m disgusted and sickened by being legally forced to provide free labor and services to @wpengine, a dangerous precedent that should chill every open source maintainer. While I disagree with the court’s decision, I've fully complied with its order. You can see most changes on the site. They have access to ACF slug but haven’t changed it… must not have been the emergency they claimed.

First, we are a donor to PHP Foundation. Check the receipts. Second, we don't use PHP in our marketing to customers. Search the homepage of WordPress, zero mentions of PHP. Search the homepage of @wpengine for "WordPress", 56 occurrences. We're not using PHP's trademark to market WordPress. WP Engine is using WordPress (and WooCommerce's) trademarks to market themselves.
