Hackers Say Hello OttoKitty

Stick around ‘til the end. We’ve got a four-legged percussionist who’s stealing hearts and drumsticks.

In today’s edition:

• There’s a new WordPress feature that could make your site feel lightning-fast… or break it completely. The kicker? It’s already turned on.
• Ottokit left a door open to privilege escalation and hackers everywhere said “thank you.” If you haven’t updated yet… go do that. Like, now.
• The WordPress Contribution Health Dashboard is sick, not in the cool way. It needs more devs. Are you the data doctor it’s waiting for?

Hot Off The Presses: What’s New?

You know that feeling when you make “just a tiny CSS tweak” and suddenly your whole site looks like something Picasso painted after a very absinthe-heavy lunch? 

Whether you’re gonna spend hours meticulously putting everything back into alignment, or throw your hands up and call it “Avant Garde Cubist Vibe Coding” - it might be time to take a break.

Good thing you’ve just opened DEV.
