WordPress Code Reference is Now Live

April 25, 2014 / / 0 Comments

Siobhan McKeown announced that the first version of the WordPress Code Reference is now live. It’s still in the very early stages of development but is now out in the wild so that people can help contribute. Go try it out to see how easy it is to search the WordPress code base. The reference was created as part of the devhub project to make it easy for developers to find more information about WordPress functions, classes, methods, hooks, and filters. After a few quick searches, I found that the search function is actually quite forgiving and will return results that are similar to what you were looking for, even if you spell it wrong. How can you help improve the reference? McKeown said that current…

A traveler’s guide to in-flight WiFi

April 25, 2014 / / 0 Comments

You’re on a nice, long domestic flight. In coach. There’s a screaming baby two rows up; the pages of the in-flight magazine are stuck together with someone else’s chewing gum; and the 9-inch overhead CRT is showing a 2-year-old episode of New Girl that you’ve already seen a half-dozen times — without sound, because you always end up in the seat with a broken headphone jack. Oh, and you have five hours left to go to LAX. If you play your cards right (and pack some noise-canceling headphones), your next cross-country haul could be a whole lot more pleasant, thanks to in-flight WiFi. Nearly all of the major US airlines now offer WiFi in the sky. Thousands of passengers flying above North…

What Would Happen If Google Really Did Kill Google+?

April 25, 2014 / / 0 Comments

Rumors are that Google might be planning to kill Google+ or at least put it into a Walking Dead-like zombie mode, as TechCrunch characterizes it and something Google denies. There are some good reasons for Google to do this, and potentially, it could allow Google to better fight on the new social battlefield, that of single-purpose social apps. Let’s play out the scenario to imagine what might happen. The Rumor: Killing Google+ For the essential background, be sure to read Google+ Is Walking Dead from TechCrunch, which describes a move to drop Google+ as a product but keep the platform side still going: What we’re hearing from multiple sources is that Google+ will no longer be considered a product, but a…

Average Environments Beget Average Work

Grady Booch delivered the following axiom at BrainstormTECH last week: “The average work of the average worker is average”. At first, it sounded perfectly rational. But on second take, I got really bothered by this. It’s based on an assumption of bad, average, and good as being static attributes of a person that I find whole fully offensive and narrow minded. In my experience, we’re all capable of bad, average, and good work. I’ve certainly done bad work at times and plenty of average work. What I’ve realized is that the good and the exceptional work is at least as much about my environment as it is about me. Average environments begets average work. Good people…
