Beta 3, a silent Beta 4 next to 6.9.3, and Beta 5 due March 12. What real-time collaboration, the new Breadcrumb block filters and theme.json pseudo-elements mean for your custom code before the RCs land.
The release party is a Slack marathon that produces a hundred reports saying everything looks good and almost no usable coverage data. A proposal: structured JSON reports, identical Playground environments, and pairing contributors at WordCamp Asia.
Weighted BCE starves when fraud is 0.2% of your data. I walk through adding a differentiable rule loss in PyTorch, what it does to ROC-AUC, and why both models need thresholds tuned the same way.

Monikka Spruyt left corporate training to start Connect Holistic Health, and handed the site build to WordPress design experts instead of learning the stack herself. Why that trade usually pays off.
Gutenberg 22.7 ships the Connectors API, turns real-time collaboration on by default, adds live previews for style variations, and puts phpMyAdmin in wp-env. Notes on what to test before you ship it.
