  • ThePrimeagen invited Matt to explain what’s going on.

    TL;DW Matt’s claim is that he tried to get WP Engine to pay for a Trademark license (or whatever it’s called - I’m recalling from watching yesterday), over several months, and they tried to legally block him in every way. Their self-claimed contributions to Wordpress were (as he tells it) that they held conferences where they promoted their own stuff only - code contributions have been minimal.

    So the combination of not willing to pay for the trademark + not contributing back (not in code, not in helping the community) is Matt’s reasoning for blocking them from using Wordpress’ resources.

    He also mentioned that he has good relations with other Wordpress hosts, so it’s not like he’s trying to block anyone else from hosting, but they were all willing to pay for the use of the Trademark (and/or contribute back).











  • Because if we are in different zones we could both commit around 09:00 local time, so then it would seem we both committed at the same instance in time, which we didn’t.

    If we were both running UTC it could work, I guess; otherwise the order of commits would stop making sense.

    edit: unless you meant to auto-convert the local time to a unix timestamp, that could work. I’m overthinking stuff.









  • Are there any dating sites where the users are actually trained on how to initiate a conversation? I bet not.

    Bumble could start a free training program to get the poor sods (both men and women) who simply don’t know how to start to actually get started instead of being constantly rejected.
