Yep - I’ve done both volunteer/free and professional work with WordPress, but after all of this drama that Matt has caused, I’ll be abandoning the platform for all future work. Too much uncertainty that happened at the drop of a hat, due to one person’s actions. Cant justify ever recommending that to anyone and feel like I’m presenting a sustainable and supportable option. Bummer too, since for certain use cases, it checks a lot of boxes.

Not a lawyer (maybe there's one reading this thread or monitoring this drama): are there grounds here for a class action lawsuit against either Wordpress.com/Automattic/Wordpress.org or Matt directly?
Fake news. MS said that Win 10 was the last one they were going to make so all of those others you mentioned are obviously fake.
Beg to differ. I work in healthcare and we just got a new manager for our 2 teams (web dev and interfaces) and she has very little technical knowledge. It’s embarrassing the amount of times I’ve literally had to explain the difference between GitHub and VSCode (yes, I know they aren’t even remotely the same thing). Morale is super low. I assume she was hired because she was a “good middle manager,” but I fail to see how that’s possible.

There - all the clicks you can eat now.
Hilarious article, but man - don’t go on that site without all of your ad and popup blockers at full throttle.
You must work for Epic.
I work on the hospital side and the cost and human effort investment for these systems is ridiculous. No wonder were behind the rest of the developed world in healthcare.

Loads of useful info and is updated fairly regularly.
Every time I click on a clickbait title and KNOW what’s coming (bullshit is what’s coming), and yet I do it anyway and get the expected result. Shame on me and that should teach me.
Twitter is a shining example of that.
Good - thought I was the only one who saw little value in following a person on Lemmy.
I work in healthcare in and manage a portfolio of public-facing sites, all on WordPress and all hosted on WPE. Also do occasional volunteer work and side projects where WordPress has been a good fit, depending on the project. Have been happy with WPE’s customer service and product offering and ideologically speaking, I think Matt is in the wrong here and has already done irreparable harm to the Wordpress project.
Due to the chaos one person has been able to cause on such a large open source project, I will be abandoning my use of it in all future personal projects and our organization is also now discussing replacing it completely for all of our sites.
What a waste of effort for a whole lot of people and a shame for the project to fall apart like this.
