This was one of EmDash's first podcast interviews since launch. A few things that came up that I haven't seen addressed elsewhere:
- Kane confirmed Matthew Prince (Cloudflare CEO) directly asked "can we build the next WordPress?" — this was top-down, not a skunkworks project
- Their Q2 roadmap was literally a question mark. They didn't know if anyone would care. The community response changed that, and they're actively allocating resources
- Plugin sandboxing outside Cloudflare is being worked on by community contributors; Kane expects a Node implementation "next week"
- They want federated/distributed plugin marketplaces (looking at the FAIR proposal), not a centralized store
- Joost de Valk (Yoast creator) already has a merged PR improving SEO handling in core
- No marketplace monetization yet, but they explicitly want devs to build commercial businesses on it
First 37 minutes is the interview, rest is discussion of implications from a WordPress product perspective.

At least you didn’t find that the bathroom rating tablets had audio as well!
During the process, there was a bidding war. They said “make your prime offer” so, knowing he was a mathematician, we made an offer that was a prime number :-)
So neat to see him be recognized for his work.

Player beware!
Think twice before sampling it if you have any sensitivity to flashing lights. Might seem obvious, but apparently needs saying!
I would have an “aura” before going to bed that I would be having a seizure that night.
Thankfully, I never had a daytime seizure.
