    I hate using Trac so much I decided to build a new UI (as a React app) around it.

    Replying to @joehall
    That is correct. I started and lead the WP REST API project until merging into core. I also wrote the Requests HTTP library which powers WP_HTTP, the core of the systems powering developer.w.org, and other contributions.

    It speaks volumes that the "big group of heavy hitters in the WordPress project" who signed this letter felt they had to stay anonymous. There is such a culture of fear that it is stifling.
    A large group of people is gathered in a blurred setting, likely at an event or conference. In the foreground, a prominent white logo of WordPress is centered, featuring a stylized "W" within a circle. The crowd appears diverse, with individuals wearing various colored shirts and engaged in conversation or posing for a photo. The background is filled with indistinct figures, creating a sense of a lively gathering.

    This is ridiculous gatekeeping. Debug however the hell you want to; I proudly use var_dump.

    Just got OAuth 2 working properly with WP for the first time. ✌️ Time to begin the long process of refining and documenting.

    “The culture of WordPress in the past few weeks has become a culture of fear among senior and established contributors.”
    A group of people is seated at long tables, each working on laptops. Some individuals are focused on their screens, while others appear to be engaged in conversation. Two signs labeled "Core Editor" and "Core" are placed on the tables, indicating different workstations. The setting has a modern, collaborative atmosphere, with soft lighting and a mix of casual and professional attire among the participants.
