- I've done some retrospection and written up a history of my WordPress contributions. Next week marks a decade since I became a core committer. Now that I've been laid off from Google, I'm looking to find a sustainable way to continue contributing:
- The vision for language plugins was always to enable the community to lint any language they want. We expect to see more like this in the future.
- ESLint can now lint HTML with the html-eslint language plugin. Guest author and creator of html-eslint Yeon Juan shows you how: eslint.org/blog/2025/05...

- It’s so disappointing to see history repeat itself in 2025 with accessibility forgotten in this @figma.com “Sites” announcement. An MVP must include accessibility to be actually viable. Make accessibility part of your company DNA so it’s a core part of your product from the start!
