In the last episode of Season 4, Luke and Jonathan discuss Clarity and what a better future might look for ads in the WordPress admin.

Luke and Jonathan wax lyrical about broken pipes, skiing, the current state of the WordPress community, and the WordPress 2022 release cycle.

Luke reflects on the 2021 State of the Word, while Jonathan holidays on a Mexican beach.

Luke and Jonathan talk about the Facebook, the Metaverse, WordPress, and the Open Web. Luke begins to change his mind about Zuckerberg and Facebook.

Forget multi-site, we want multi-user! Luke and Jonathan look beyond the (unfailingly distant) full site editing horizon, toward a day when we can edit a post, nay, design an entire WordPress site collaboratively, contiguously, and concurrently.

Aaron Gustafson is a Principal Program Manager on the Microsoft Edge team, focused on their work on Progressive Web Apps and developer UX. He's also a spec editor at the W3C and Editor-in-chief of A List Apart. Aaron joins Luke and Jonathan to talk about the Open Web and share his perspective (and some guidance) with the WordPress community.

Jonathan attempts a no-code FSE site build, and Luke is skeptical about FSE landing this year.

Luke starts off with a surprise. Then we talk about Andrea Middleton, WordPress acquisitions, and whether we're still in the early days of WordPress.
