#WordPress hosting from @automattic the max: "Introducing the 100-Year Plan: Secure Your Online Legacy for a Century" wordpress.com/blog/2023/08/2… @photomatt at @WordCampUS #WCUS

100 year hosting for $38k. "It's a lot... But in some ways, I wonder if it's too low. We tried to model inflation. Different cost of underlying things like the dot com registration or domain registrations." @photomatt at @WordCampUS #WCUS

"I think we should stop doing life-time licenses (of plugins, services) in the #WordPress world... when you say life-time I think it cheapens the word." @photomatt at @WordCampUS #WCUS

"I would just like officially for 2023 to reset all of that to neutral. So, if you think I like something or don't like something, let's reset that to zero so we're not gonna make it another 20 years carrying around a lot of baggage, right?" 👍🏻 @photomatt at @WordCampUS #WCUS

Greatest existential threat to #WordPress (as a community): "...is always whether or not we can still get together and collaborate in an effective way. Because so much of Community is built on the way we get together and way we collaborate." @josephahaden at @WordCampUS #WCUS

"The greatest threat to #WordPress I don't think is any competitor. It's ourselves." @photomatt at @WordCampUS #WCUS

On AI and #WordPress: "It could call out to your website to run an additional query. So, maybe get results for items in your store... but owning your domain name is important." @photomatt at @WordCampUS #WCUS

"One assumes "[#WordPress developers] don't know about accessibility standards. And I would actually argue that they care about it quite a bit." @photomatt at @WordCampUS #WCUS

For those listening, here's the #WordPress admin kickoff post mentioned just now: make.wordpress.org/design/20… @photomatt at @WordCampUS #WCUS

Upcoming #WordPress admin design: "I'm actually thinking about most in the Admin is how much knowledge it pre-supposes... can we name things simpler... media and comment mod needs to be better." @photomatt at @WordCampUS #WCUS

Asked: "What would you do differently about #WordPress?" "Changing the name of the "ID" column name in the post table in the WP database.... MAN THAT DRIVES ME CRAZY." @photomatt @WordCampUS #WCUS

"I have seen some Figma to #Gutenberg translators... maybe have an importer or canonical plugin in the future. I'd be really cool to do some of this stuff directly in Gutenberg." #WordPress @photomatt @WordCampUS #WCUS

"Do you plan to do anything about making SQL databases in #WordPress more relational... have different tables for different post types in the near future?" MATT: Ah... no." @photomatt @WordCampUS #WCUS

"It's not what you say but what people hear." @photomatt at @WordCampUS #WCUS

RIP @photomatt beard. #WCUS
