Early WordPress wasn’t just simple – it was fun to dig into and inviting to work with.
Many call it sloppy now, but I love how human that makes it.
It leans into its jazziness as a thousand different individuals ebb and flow in and out of it, jamming with each other. 💙

UnPHPular Opinion:
! $variable is wrong 99% of the time.
empty( $variable ) is usually what you want.
! is for Boolean comparisons – true/false
empty() is for checking if a variable is non-empty, non-zero, or is not set.

I’d rather write more verbose code than squish it together into deeply-nested, magically-inherited, syntax-covered, cavity-causing sweetness.
If a human is having difficulty writing an interpreter for it, humans will have difficulty interpreting it.

I’m creating a fully backwards compatible alternative to WordPress.
Not a fork.
Not a competitor.
An independent alternative, where advancements can be made, and WordPress can decide whether or not to adopt them.
It’s called: Publicious.

18) When someone says “this plugin sucks because whatever” – it’s an OPPORTUNITY to help someone. Take it, be helpful, that’s the spirit.

My content brings SEO to my blog, and I’m like “it’s better than yours!”
WordPress! It’s better than yours!
It’s free! There is no charge!
