Hi there,
It’s only two weeks until we head down south to Italy for a combination of family-vacation, remote working from various places and attending WordCamp Europe in Torino in the middle of it all. Really looking forward to be traveling again and also some relaxing after what has been quite an eventful year so far.
This week the beyond tellerrand conference took place in Düsseldorf, which I didn’t attend myself, but Florian did and shared his documentation, as usual with some gorgeous photos.

😳 Modern WordPress – Yikes!
David Bushell wrote this rant about modern WordPress Theme Development and especially about its CSS strategy, or the lack thereof. I’m actually starting to enjoy working with block themes myself more and more, even though I experienced some of the hacky stuff he mentions firsthand. His review is pretty negative, but it’s also not totally without merit and still somewhat constructive so I think it’s overall a good thing to share your frustration like this.
