@jalefkowit He sounds... unwell?... and should maybe take a nice long break.
-
@nyquildotorg Oh that's just the START
-
@jalefkowit I have heard a lot of people complain now that Matt doesn't even code. That the bulk of his coding work on WP is found in the Hello Dolly plugin installed by default, yet has the nerve to say these folks have a lot of opinions but not a lot of code.

"Forking is beautiful, and forks have my full support. That is why as of this moment the following people who have discussed a fork have been officially excommunicated"

@nyquildotorg And on top of that he has the nerve to talk about all the process the WordPress project has around what goes into a release, when 90% of the dissatisfaction with him in this whole crisis has come from him demonstrating that he personally can sidestep all that process whenever he feels like it.

And let me point out two other details that make this missive classic Photography Matthew:
1) He drops this absolute banger on a FRIDAY NIGHT
2) Somehow, for some reason, it is dated as having been published tomorrow
-
@tsturm @jalefkowit He definitely sounds just like the author of Temple OS. Almost exactly.

@glyph Bragging about how many godchildren you have feels like stolen valor
-
@jalefkowit He is such a douchebag.

@jalefkowit this is a stereotypical style of writing that always warns me that the author is going to be a problem at some point.

@ShiitakeToast When the smart companies reach a certain size, they have someone sit the white guy CEO down and say to him "I know you think sarcasm and wit are the same thing, but the share price depends on you understanding that they aren't"

@jalefkowit The really smart ones have PR and the general counsel sit him down and tell him not to talk without prior approval
