Hey there, sexy. Hopefully I’ll see you in Jetpack pretty soon…
This is pretty cool! I mean, once sites implement it I’ll be able to log in using another password I can barely fucking remember.
Adds an “Add New” sub menu item to the Plugins menu of all sites inside of a network for network admins.
Pippin fixes one of the things in Multisite that has annoyed me for, well, basically forever.
Also, there’s a bug for this in Trac. If this has ever made you crazy too, go throw some support its way.

Excellent thoughts from Marko on the impending removal of mysql_*() from PHP and what it means for how WordPress (and its plugins) interact with MySQL.
WP_Query::get_postshas an NPath complexity of 1.43573394139742×10^48. This can also be expressed as:1,435,733,941,397,422,709,124,940,625,188,500,371,668,992,000,000
Or 1.435 Quindecillion. This is 25 orders of magnitude greater than the number of stars in the visible universe. It is also the number of unit tests required to fully test
WP_Query::get_posts.
Hold up. Seriously? Shit.
A simple, but illuminating, visualization of the WordPress release cycle from WP Engineer.
An aside: Over the life of WordPress, a major release has come out (on average) every 200.5 days. If the core devs manage to stay on schedule, it’ll be interesting to see what the rapid release of 3.7 & 3.8 do to that average.
Clever enqueue trick from Ben Gillbanks for anyone who spends time flipping between staging and production.
Keynote template for quickly creating awesome WordPress admin interface mockups.
Nice! I’ll have to use it when I make my (erotic?) WordPress admin mockup site.
Yeah, alright. This is pretty old news. But it’s been a fantastic replacement for MAMP on my machine. If you’re not already using it, consider giving it a try.
Helen Hou-Sandí’s got a pretty great idea for folks looking to pitch in on core development:
For 3.7, the biggest goal (at least in my mind) is to blow through Trac and close as many tickets as possible, either through committing a patch or because they aren’t relevant anymore. At close to 3800 open tickets, Trac just isn’t manageable for anybody anymore.
I’ll gladly spend a little time this next cycle doing a little “gardening”.
