I use Tailscale as my primary interface for handling this. Simple as adding your nextdns id number in the DNS settings and you are done.
Instruct your Tailscale invitees to download the app and voila, simply toggle it on or off as needed.
Let’s call this what it is:
Automattic shaking down the biggest competitor to his hosting business.
But a service disruption like this is bad strategy.
WPEngine runs accounts for many very recognizable brands and large orgs - kinds of clients Matt wants to see switch over.
Given disruptions like this, those clients are far more likely to see Wordpress as unreliable software before their hosting provider.
And Matt might not realize it but almost all of those large accounts already have multiple devs who are _eager_ to migrate away from Wordpress.
That’s really not a fair statement from him given:
1. Based on their github orgs, there is effectively no separation between wordpress.org and Automattic.
2. The core WP contributors trac has a long history of not really being welcome to new contributions. Outside of the design decisions coming from Automattic, third party contributions either die in multi-year deliberations or get directed to the plugin system.
3. The development culture around WP, which largely revolves around the plugin ecosystem - has always trended towards paid plugins over OSS software.

ADHD trends towards the extremes.
A hyper-fixation session feels closer to how people describe addiction than I’d like to admit.
When unmedicated, I can easily find myself diving down the rabbit hole for 12-14 hours straight, working on interesting but unimportant tasks.
You forget about any concept of time. You feel hunger but can’t pull yourself away to eat lunch or dinner. Daily goals are forgotten. You only stop when your body literally forces you.
If you choose React Native, you’ll save your team significant time and effort by using the Expo framework instead of the base CLI.
MS is sunsetting Visual Studio for Apple users in August and encouraging users to move over to VS Code.
Around 2009, I found a bottle of “grandma’s original molasses” from the mid-90s which the nutritional facts claiming had 30% DV of iron. I compared it against a new bottle at the time, which listed 10% DV.
Today, a new same jars have iron listed as 2%
This honestly isn’t a great choice for beginners for a number of reasons.
For someone seeking a better introduction to strength training, please take a look at the BoostCamp app
“Industry” on HBO for glimpse into junior-level investment banking
I honestly believe this is the best possible solution but grade school curriculum and funding being controlled by state legislatures is a real issue.
The changes coming in Safari 17 are a great step forward for PWAs
Sad. I'm surprised Domains wasn't rolled into Google Workspace.
The HATEOAS approach is viable for some applications but I wouldn't necessarily call it the future.
Using custom html attributes as the base for complex client-side interactions is arguably a step backwards when considering the story around maintenance.
Right now, if you are building a robust component library - it's much easier to maintain using a template language with strong Typescript / IDE support, like JSX or similar.
of curiosity, can anyone share their testing strategy with pgSQL?
this looks like a better documented io-ts
please use more than just water.
semi-public spaces where you aren't isolated, like co-working offices.
if that's not feasible, a service like FocusMate in your home office.
With ADHD, a single HN post could have me following source material and child nodes up to 5-6 layers deep.
Once the time-blindness wears off, the anxiety sets in you realize hours have passed and outstanding work is due soon.
What sort of worked:
- Blocking web sites during work hours (SelfControl for MacOS and NextDNS for devices)
What did work:
- Consistent sleep schedule (10PM)
- Mindfulness meditation in the morning
- Getting physically active in the morning
- Working in a different environment
What helped on top of that:
- Getting prescribed for ADHD medication
- Professional counseling from a therapist
- Dealing with what’s causing your anxiety (or depression)
Puppet scripts for kids.
Clarifying, explaining, and converting bash scripts to other languages.
The HM Embody resolved the burning pain that used to set into my shoulders after 5 hours.
Please understand that rock bottom is temporary.
Entrepreneurship is a story of perseverance being extended long enough to meet luck.
Take time to recover and plan. Then get up try again.
College also serves as a buffer, giving you dedicated time and space grow.
The self-taught route is a viable path but if growth is what you want, the early stages requires more work than most realize.
Being visible and present. Did this mostly by unblocking my team, writing ADRs for larger features, being involved during pre-grooming, and helping people via huddle or pairing.
Things also move much faster if you have frequent 1:1s and keep a log of your wins.
Over the last 2 years, I made ~$30k/year on projects that could be completed in a weekend (10 hours/week max).
It was fun to work on something outside my day job but it required some judiciousness to ensure I could meet my set time limits.
I found taking on bigger projects + a demanding day job pushed me to burnout pretty quickly.
Best advice here. It also takes less practice than you think for stage fright to go away.

Anything you learn needs to be applied.
My advice I give now: start with CS50 and dive deep into all the supplementary reading.
Then build something every day.
Read books, watch videos, take a course. But above all, make sure you can apply it to something real.
