@zachleat @dogwonder Hmmm maybe but I don't really trust open-source software unless there's an unhinged dictator or an evil corporation behind it. (Ideally both.)

Wow, that WP Engine cease and desist is *next* level drama. -
Matt Mullenweg seems determined to commit career suicide.Imagine if Apple decided to block anyone with a gmail address from accessing the app store.
Imagine if AWS shut down your app if you used Shopify.
Imagine if Microsoft blocked GitHub for Macs.
This is the exact kind of thing Matt Mullenweg is doing in #wordpress, and it's utterly indefensible. No matter what you believe about WP Engine, their customers—members of the community Matt claims to care about—don't deserve this.
Matt needs to be removed immediately.

What the actual fuck is this man-child thinking? How are there no other adults in the room to stop him from executing on these obviously self-sabotaging ideas?

With Automattic weaponizing their WordPress trademark against WP Engine, it’s a good day to challenge Oracle’s JavaScript trademark.@zachleat At least it would be pretty difficult for an Oracle exec to extort JavaScript just because his mom confused it with Java.

I'm reluctant to report the rumors are true: it actually really does help. My mental health and general outlook are both the best they've been in a very long time. I feel completely different than I did a month or two ago.
Not all mental health is related to physical health, but if one suffers when the other's neglected, that might be a good signal to follow.

Do you ever wonder what you were thinking when you made a decision you can't even remember making?Do you ever wonder what you were thinking when you made a decision you can't even remember making?
Like, at what point in my life did I decide: "yes, LinkedIn is an app I'd like to install on my phone."
Why did I think that was a good choice? Who was I back then? Can I even really say I'm the same person at all?

startup dudes are so strange about making up words when perfectly normal words already exist. ‘I am a fractional CFO’‘You mean you’re a part time accountant’Literally saw someone post ‘Yes! Google finally gets fractional!’ And it was a link to a part t...@skinnylatte I've often thought this in general, but specifically about the term "code smell"
Ok, so you mean like, red flag? Bad sign? Warning? Rule of thumb? Signal? Danger indicator? Red light? Tip-off?
Why did we invent this totally nonsensical term?
