Writes, builds, and designs ✴︎ Product @automattic ✴︎ Making @WordPressDotCom AI
BIG news friends!💥 I am beyond thrilled to announce that today is my first day at @automattic! 🙃 Looking forward to creating with such a talented and innovative group of folks. Let’s go!
when AI gets so good that anyone can build software, what happens to software quality? democratization is great until everyone's shipping mvps with no one maintaining them. maybe there'll be an AI to clean up the mess.
Made these so far. Been interesting experimenting!
So, how many Claude Code sub-agents did you make today?
I’ll be there! Who else is going?
The countdown is real. A little over a month until WordCamp US, so get it in your calendar and get your ticket! us.wordcamp.org/2025/tickets/ #WCUS #WordPress #WordCamp #Portland

What do @automattic's “Big Sky,” agency busywork, and AI’s future in WordPress have in common? In episode #9 of Greyd Conversations, we talk to two top minds in WordPress AI: @jakemgold & @jameswlepage What’s hype, what’s real, and how agencies can ride the wave. Check it out:…
if your AI product can be replaced by a good prompt to ChatGPT, you don't have a product. you have an expensive api call.
Hear me out: an agent to prioritize and sequence @WordPress Trac/GitHub issues into comprehensible progress.
You need to know what to do and how to direct. I’ve never moved faster than when using Claude Code.
This is what engineering looks like now.
This, exactly. And coming from one of the best engineers I know…
It's often faster to ask Claude code to build something than it is to send a message to slack and discuss an assignment with a teammate.
yes yes yes

ai code generation actually feels like collaboration now, instead of fancy autocomplete.
stop bikeshedding on interfaces, build the intelligence first.
