I think that Jamie's recent 3 month subscriber explosion and his very pro Gutenberg videos helped him get that job. Got to give it to him, I watched those "do this amazing effect in Gutenberg" videos & they almost made me interested in Gutenberg again...but at end of videos, it's usually "sadly this doesn't work on mobile or not in this or that browser" and no way to fix it inside of Gutenberg... because it's still Gutenberg 😄
Wow wow Matt I don't think people are saying Core needs to do everything, but some basic CMS stuff should be added so we're not dependent on 3rd party plugins that might stop being developed. Most of the stuff that's in WP Extended for example should be Core, it seems that plugin has re-started recently, but it seemed death for half a year before that.
Maybe agencies shouldn't be the focus, but we don't want WP to loose in relevance, because that will hurt WP as a free platform, but also hurt Automattic's paid for products...so maybe to save WP, listening to freelancers/agencies wouldn't be a bad thing to keep WP relevant to what's happening in the wider online world
WP says it's blog first, but the default themes for years now line up more with what Kevin says, making more classic brochure websites. Last true blog first theme was Twenty Sixteen. This switch started in 2012 when they removed the Link Manager imo
Very much thinking the same thing myself. Listening to Matt's synopsis of the whole top down leadership situation and it gels a little with what my thinking on all this has been for a long time, that there are are many in core that are impervious to listening to the real needs of profesionals. If KG's offering is so good it can't be ignored is there a chance for some change on this? It's a conversation that needs to be had, because at some stage someone somewhere will have to come up with a solution. Whether that's within Wordpress or elsewhere remains to be seen.
@@vaughanprint I agree and to some extent, I'm personally getting a bit indifferent to the whole situation, which, in the long term, is the biggest danger to WordPress.
@@wptonic the indifference is what will do for it, if it gets that bad and more attractive alternatives become available. Being in the older age bracket and moving on, younger punters won’t have the same emotional attachment to the old dog that WP is heading towards.
Thank you for the stream! I'm watching the recording and there are so many thoughts common to mine :D I was thinking to create the workbook for Partnerships Manager to celebrate my 6 year experience as Partnership & Outreach manager. But after this stream, I'm not sure if I should, as so many tips you've already mentioned. 😅
