Yes, I took a picture of my food. ? Because when they served me the lamb chop, they told me the candle was made from reduced fat that I should let melt in to the sauce. ? #automattic

Jetpack 4.1: My first large contribution to Jetpack
While I have contributed to a few Jetpack releases in the past, Jetpack 4.1 is the first release where I have contributed a significant amount of work.
The past couple of months I have worked hard on refreshing the Single Sign On (SSO) module. SSO makes it as easy as clicking a button to log in to a self-hosted WordPress site!
It was a fun project because I got to touch several different code bases, including: Jetpack, the WordPress.com API, Calypso (JavaScript version of WordPress.com), and the PHP parts of WordPress.com. Also, for each code base, unit tests were either created or updated.
Personally, this was an exciting release for me, but I’m stoked for the next two releases. We have some great UI and performance updates coming.
Check it out
Jetpack 4.1 dropped today. You can check out the release post for more information, or just head to your dashboard to update to the latest.
Jetpack 4.1 is here and it’s packed with performance improvements, new features, improvements to existing features, and bug fixes!

Join our amazing team
While I did have the opportunity to write most of the SSO code for the release, the SSO refresh in 4.1 was only possible because of the amazing team we have.
- Rick Banister and Michael Arestad provided mocks as well feedback on the UX and UI.
- Brandon Kraft provided lots of feedback, pointed out old issues as well as conflicts with other plugins, and even created a core patch to add more actions to the login form.
- Jeremy Herve did a ton of work getting the release ready.
- The entire division participated in pre-release testing.
- My team reviewed my code and listened to my complaining.
If you’re interested in joining our team, we’re always hiring.

Regex Learnup from the Back of a Car
This past Thursday, one of my coworkers at Automattic gave a regex presentation from the back of a rental car. At one point, a nearby car’s alarm went off and everyone on the presentation heard the siren.
I was so amused by this, that I had to take a screenshot. In the picture, you’ll notice a headrest to the left of Dennis Snell’s face.
I wanted to share the screenshot because I felt it captured a bit of what the culture at Automattic is like. In a company where employees are allowed to work when and where they want, there’s bound to be a few moments like this. And while this is the first time I’ve been on a video call with someone in the back of a car, it is not the first time one of my coworkers has been in an interesting location.
If you find this exciting, why don’t you come work with us?

#Automattic is a distributed company. Periodically, we get together to work in close quarters. A few weeks ago, I drove down to Frisco and met up with a couple of DFW based Automatticians to work in Ikea.
