This comment is 10x more useful than your website. I'd suggest moving most of this copy onto the site just in a better format.

Google made $280B in revenue in 2022 which means this article is claiming that at least 1/3 of it (since they said over $92B) is coming from Android only. Does that align?

I'd guess very hard. But just refactoring the WordPress codebase isn't enough, you'd ideally want every plugin to adopt the new API as well... Although you could always keep this implementation as the fallback behaviour.

I'm highly in favour of this, but wanted to point out an important implementation detail in case people don't want to look through the code. Since WordPress doesn't have a database abstraction, SQLite integration is done by t

There's about 4-5 very predictable comments already that boil down to: "you’ll end up building a framework" The author of this article directly addresses that common trope, so these comments are lazy. In fact, this article ha

The one caveat this article doesn't mention is worse handling but they replied in the comments about it. And handling matters way more at higher speeds, plus they commented the extra weight matters more for steep climbs too.

We quickly ran into the same issue at Shopify. We've since moved from a flat list into sections by "domains"; within each section is the breakdown by type. You can see it here: https://shopify.dev/docs/ad

You make a good point and I do agree. Also at any bigger company, no one person's experience is completely representative. It depends on the person, manager, team, org, etc. There's no way any one person could know everything abou
