WordPress Vs. WP Engine? It Doesn’t Matter. It’s Bad For The Internet. #WordPress shouldn’t be in the news this much.

I can’t wait to tell my kids when our family is post-economic. 🤡 #WordPress

Screnshoot of a Slack converesation between Matt Mullenweg and Lawrence and Alex:@matt - this was asked on X: is all this driven by an increasingly difficult financial position&10;Automattic is finding itself in?&10;Matt 8:20 PM&10;Mb Nope, Automattic is in an amazing financial position&10;1&10;and l've been post-economic for probably 19 years now, l've made more than I could ever spend in my lifetime. That's why I give so much away&10;Alex Standiford → 8:21 PM&10;Literally nobody cares about that Matt&10;We're over here trying to protect our integrity and our clients and you're talking about A8Cs&10;finance.

I’m not really ready to process that it’s the 20th anniversary of #U2’s How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb release.

I should clarify that the #WordPress situation is bad in the big picture sense of the word.. but not like “nazi” big picture. More like “bad business dbag” picture. So don’t panic if you’ve got WordPress sites. Even if you’re on WP Engine hosting, you’ll be ok.

One perk of having a puppy is that you get to use the phrase “don’t bite the hand that feeds you” a lot more.

Good lord what a way to poop on a huge part of the #WordPress ecoysystem. Matt Mullenweg’s truly gone off the deep end with this. No more WordPress for me after 15? years.

New on my blog: The Contractor’s Dilemma: Coping When Clients Disappear I’m sure others have gone through similar experiences when working with clients. I try to keep a thick skin about it, but I’m still a bag of fleshy feelings. 😆

Anyone want to help me test out the (beta) Descript recording studio? Join me now (for the next ~15m?) and chat web.descript.com/room/c8c9… (you’ll be able to turn off video, etc. before joining)

Great recap of everything announced at TwitchCon 2024 if, like me, you’re curious about streaming but rarely have the guts to actually do it. 😆

High of 31C at the end of September is certainly a choice.
