I generally don't get all political on social media, but as I just got back from a trip to Belgrade, my thoughts will be with all my Serbian friends this weekend during their upcoming elections. I can't do much from afar, but I'm hoping things go smoothly.

Today the PHP project released security updates addressing two critical "PHP2Shell" vulnerabilities. If your site is hosted on Automattic infrastructure, you’re already protected. Managing PHP yourself? Here’s what to do: automattic.com/2026/10/21/y...

Yesterday, WordPress Studio announced its new agentic desktop experience. I've been testing it for the past few weeks, and I have to say, it's pretty amazing. I no longer have to use Claude or Codex to build out my WordPress plugins or themes. wordpress.com/blog/2026/0...

If you use WordPress and never tried WordPress Studio (especially the beta) you're missing out on its AI features. I just took it for a spin to restyle my blog using a blog theme on a cheap WordPress.com personal plan and it did a great job.

jonathanbossenger.comHome ownership and the world wide webImagine you decide to build your own home. You save up enough money, buy a plot, hire an architect to design the house to your specifications, and hire a developer to build it. The developer uses builders, electricians, plumbers, etc, to build the house according to the plans. The house is modest, but it meets your current needs, and you can always work with the architect and the developer if you want to expand later.

Many (many) moons ago, I hosted a podcast where I chatted to folks about their WordPress development story. I had a great time on those episodes, but as my career changed, my focus on podcasting waned.

Now, I want to talk to WordPress developers again, but this time, I want to hear about their journey with AI, how they're using it, what they think about it, and how they see the future of WordPress development through the lens of AI. If you're interested, let me know...

I watched this with my family last night, and it was a proud moment to be part of a group of people who feel so strongly about open source and the open web.

The internet belongs to all of us. Today, we prove it. Code for the People, a documentary short about the open web from the people who built it, is now available. Stream it for free. For freedom. For the future. #OpenSource #OpenWeb #DocumentaryShort

#WordPress Studio is officially my preferred local WP dev environment. Zero dependencies, custom domains & SSL, database access, PHP & WP version switching, Xdebug, every OS. I wish all other PHP software were this easy to run locally. Check it out at wordpress.studio.

Before I dive in, I need to take you back to the year I learned PHP and started to take it more seriously as a career path. It was 2004, the year Gmail launched, the most popular mobile phones were clam shell, and if you had a 19inch black CRT monitor, you were l33t.
