Unlucky in Cards
First, I want to say how great the jazz scene is in New York. I caught a little Latin at my go-to Guantanamera last night, but the band seemed to be phoning it in a bit, so I walked over to Dizzy’s and heard an amazing big band performance by the Diva all-women Jass Orchestra , they had Clint Holmes leading vocals and I got Frank Sinatra / Count Basie vibes , so great to see such a tight big band.
In WordPress , last week it was fun to see the company some call parasitic WP Engine acquire WPackagist . So a popular way to use WordPress with Composer, previously maintained by an awesome co-op agency in London , was now in the clutches of a company using its capital advantage to try to openwash its alleged bad behavior , probably in a process that wasn’t ideal for the sellers .
Four days later, an awesome independent organization roots.io released WP Composer (renamed to WP Packages , in OpenClaw fashion) with 17x faster cold resolves than WPackagist. Check out their comparison page .
It’s beautiful to see how resilient and nimble the antibodies in the WordPress community are. Major hat tip to Ben Word .
In another type of antibody, Sid Sijbrandi, whom I previously talked about going into founder mode on his cancer , gave an incredible presentation at the Open AI Forum abo ut how he ran a bunch of N-of-1 experiments and therapies to cure his terminal osteosarcoma. He’s also open-sourced 25TB of his data for cancer research . Incredible!
If you want to see the future of health care, give Sid’s presentation a watch .
