Through the years I've hosted a fair amount of interviews with designers, entrepreneurs, artists and authors. All of those interviews now have a home on my personal website.
I wrote a bit about my experience and listed a few of my all-time favorites.

This makes me incredibly sad. Slate Star Codex, one of my favorite blogs, is now gone because a @nytimes reporter was going to reveal the author's name.
It's such a shame.

Excited for @WordPress's Gutenberg layout editor. My theme doesn't support it now, but it should provide a ton of flexibility going forward. No more shortcode hacks for layout changes.

That moment when 600 words mysteriously vanish from a WordPress post. Nothing in the revisions files. Anybody have a similar issue?
