My hot take is that I don’t like cross posting or reposting. I subscribe to communities for the unique content and perspectives that each one provides and to see a user posting the same thing to five different communities for whatever reason (getting upvotes seems to be the only reason) seems silly to me. Let go of the ego a bit and this need for internet points.

The very clear point made here that should have shut all this noise down in the first place is that WPE is not obligated in any way to contribute back to Automattic (private biz) or the WordPress foundation (non profit). Complete shakedown by Matt that should be making all of us think very carefully about the future of the Wordpress platform as a whole. If one guy that runs a private business that also happens to be tied to a nonprofit that runs a widely used platform (yes, that does sound like a mess) decides that he’s not getting his way regarding your business that makes money off of the ecosystem (there are thousands), then he can throw a fit and shake them down too.

The platform isn’t perfect and has its warts, but it does fill a need that works for a lot of use cases. There’s a reason why so much of the web is using it. This drama has been making me give serious thought to completely abandoning the platform and recommending to everyone else that they do the same though.

Ooh - apostrophe gore in the title.

There - all the clicks you can eat now.

Hilarious article, but man - don’t go on that site without all of your ad and popup blockers at full throttle.

You must work for Epic.

I work on the hospital side and the cost and human effort investment for these systems is ridiculous. No wonder were behind the rest of the developed world in healthcare.

This by far the worse crime here.

Loads of useful info and is updated fairly regularly.

Every time I click on a clickbait title and KNOW what’s coming (bullshit is what’s coming), and yet I do it anyway and get the expected result. Shame on me and that should teach me.

Shame. Only shame.

Twitter is a shining example of that.

I appreciate the precision AND pedantry of your response. Great, concise explanation of exactly what that term means.
