Oh, I also documented how Matt Mullenweg is himself the cash-focused prototypical technbro, including all the misogyny, while he cloaks himself in the feel-goods of open source.
IOW, regardless of whatever WPEngine’s problem is, this take-my-ball-and-go-home man-child behavior is absolutely on brand for this guy.
