A war has been raging in the WordPress ecosystem for the past two weeks. In a latest development, employees are leaving the feisty WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg, who is dividing the WordPress community. An eighth of his own staff do not seem to share his position. It’s about demands in the millions, blackmail, “nuclear options” and, in a very big way, defending the future of open source against profit-oriented corporate giants.
This whole drama makes me wonder if it’s only a matter of time till I have to migrate my company away from WordPress.
Man, fuck matt mullenweg
