#24Pineapple is objectively the best pizza topping because it's one of the only toppings which makes pizza into a fully rounded scientific flavor experience. The five flavors which we can detect are sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami (savory). A basic cheese pizza covers two, maybe three of these flavors — salty, umami, and maybe sweet, depending on the sauce used. Pineapple covers three flavors — sweet, sour, and bi…

#27This and Elm show the issues of the BDFL management model. Good software projects can die due to a midlife crisis. Let's hope WordPress establishes some form of foundation.
Sure, let's not go into the history of foundations going sideways from the original intention... For good management, no real system is even necessary. For bad management, no system is immune to their incompetence.
Well run foundations (like Debian) can keep chugging along even with stakeholders who bitterly hate each other.

Eh, foundation at least keeps business continuity and has the ability to cleanly address a minority of bad actors. Well run foundations (like Debian) can keep chugging along even with stakeholders who bitterly hate each other.

#30I hope a BDFL isn't going through a rough time while not having to listen to anyone else.
