    So yesterday, after my talk at GoDaddy we had a small, private gathering in the WP Dev Academy Discord, where @courtneyengle shared some really cool things about the future of the block editor. Looking forward to what the block editor has to offer!

    TODAY IS THE DAY. If you’re exclusively making sites with ACF and the classic editor, you’ll want to watch this.

    We’ll talk about how building themes with the block editor differs from the classic editor.

    https://t.co/CnmRBP5dAR After this talk is done, I will be doing a private Q&A session on WP Dev Academy’s Discord server for all members. If that interests you, come join the Discord server here:

    Event starts at 4PM EST, Discord Q&A starts at approximately 5PM.

    One of my favorite tools in programming is a hash. It’s useful in so many different ways.

    Ben: “Dad, you’re a ninconpoop!”

    Kate: “BEN we talked about honesty and kindness this morning, remember?!”

    (Today’s lesson was about how sometimes being honest conflicts with being kind, and how to navigate that.)

    So did my wife just say I’m a nonconpoop?

    What do you think is the biggest misconception about Gutenberg today?

    holy freaking heck it’s windy today. Feelin’ like I’m on the open seas.

    Little update on my site building course – it’s going to be late. And I’m really sad about that.

    Between the new job, and other personal crazy-ness, I really need to focus on what’s going on here. At least for a couple months. Shooting for Jan 2021. On-top of all of that, I’m a bit ambivalent on launching the course now since everything is in such a state of flex. 2.9 is changing WordPress theme development almost as much as 2.8 did. I think a couple months to let this fully bake will make this course much better.

    Is anyone in here still using the classic editor instead of the block editor for building client sites? What makes you use the classic editor?
