For context, this is revenge to a court forcing him by injunction to remove the previous version of the checkbox (which required stating you are not affiliated with, or using, WP Engine). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42382829

Which is just childish because the court doesn't give a damn about this. As long as the court's orders were followed, that's all they have domain over.

Pineapple 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…

For extra rounding it out, I also advocate sliced up chili pepper (jalapeno or whatever)

My go-to pizza is pineapple and jalapeno

This is nonsense. Your tongue is far more sensitive than that.

How would you characterize the flavor of butter?

I agree, and I assume Matt is making a naughty & nice list of who disses this ultimate culinary advancement, so that he can sue them later.

This 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.

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.

See how long this lasts, got flagged [dead] immediately several times in the new queue, for some reason.

404media.co is a shadowbanned domain on HN due to paywalls, meaning any new submission from the domain will automatically be killed. https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=404media.co (w/ showdead on) Since this post doesn't have a paywall and it's good/newsworthy, I vouched for it.

Are you a HN admin/dev/mod now?

You're forgetting the WordPress Foundation exists, with two other co-founders, and allowed itself to get into this mess in the first place without any fight or publicity about Mullenweg's real control. Those two other founders are currently MIA.
