I hope, for the good of the community, that Matt will choose either nonprofit leader or tech CEO. It’s become clear that both roles cannot live within one person.
If he were just the leader of the WordPress foundation, this whole thing would just be an embarrassing PR failure. As it is, I wonder if his actions will rise to the level of criminal.
After watching his interview with The Primeagen, it seems like he is mentally wearing the clothes of a righteous prophet…the misunderstood advocate of a disrespected organization.
Unfortunately, he’s ignoring the fact that he invested in WPE years ago, is CEO of a direct competitor, has publicly said he hopes WPE loses billions of dollars as a result, apparently has no proof in writing, and is pulling thousands of innocent developers into his petulant crusade.
- blinded 2y ago"apparently has no proof in writing" sounds like there are emails and what not. But those should come out as the lawsuit progresses. Just because he didn't make any public now doesn't mean they don't exist.
- iambateman 2y agoWe will see. He was asked in the interview twice and he _did_ respond and it wasn’t good. He pulled his calendar out and read out dates he met with their CEO.
- blinded 2y agoSomething for discovery imo (if it gets that far). He seemed put off that wp engine would release his texts, would be unfair of him to do the same? I'm not sure.
