Why do I see the same accounts on "Who to follow" section @tom?

Suggestions come from a small pool: developers must have a visible top-level commit, and the list mostly favors people you follow and thread participants. So the same names keep reappearing. Use Refresh for a new draw, X to mark someone Not interested (they never come back), or…

@tom how many users from Türkiye or Turkey? Can you fetch me a list?

Tom @tomOct 22

Almost two years ago, AI got you ~70% of the way there, and the last 30% was the hard part: addyo.substack.com/p/the-70-problem-hard-truths-about At that time, I was thinking same. Now I'd say it's 95%+, and that's more than enough for me.

Your password manager does not care how convincing a login page looks. It checks the domain. No autofill offer? Slow down and check the URL before you type anything.

Any #WordPress developers around, if there are enough of us left? Drop a reply with what you're building right now. Let's see how big this corner is.

I should make it so that microposts on my WP site get syndicated here!

I have a legacy WordPress freelance client, so I divide my time between WordPress and Laravel.

How do our commits get __approved__? And by who? AI, a moderator team? This is the third time, hope markdown works this time. lol
