  • Bunch of great points, thanks. Funny you mention Linus, I’m pretty sure he’s done that a bunch. First thing that comes to mind is the “f*** you Nvidia” on stage 😂 in the grand scheme of things I just hope this blows over quickly, takes power away from all the ceos and companies involved. I don’t see anyone benefitting from this in the short or long term, especially the users.

    I really don’t want WordPress to suffer, I feel like it’s one of the last pillars standing against a bland sea of identical social media profiles. Given enough time, completely unchecked, I see WP Engine moving heavily towards enshitification like that, and I think Matt wants to avoid that too? 🙏

    I completely agree that individuals have no responsibility to contribute, and thank you for your own contributions. But I completely disagree that a company like WP Engine should get a free pass. I see this as a paradox of tolerance and someone is willing to lose face and money over it. He didn’t get to $400m by hording, he got there by creating and sharing WordPress and promoting a community that is supposed to lift us all up




  • I work in tech. Most people I work with pick their own hours but are in office during core hours (10-4), some (like me) will do a pretty strict 9-5, I’ve seen some do 6-6 (eew). There’s def a type of people who do more hours to try and get ahead or impress, but I don’t think it’s worth it.

    I think if I ever worked somewhere with strict arrival or departure requirements I would leave. I’m an adult and work will get done, too much external control will strangle that.
