  • 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).














  • Fight me.

    Can we do a Blueyathon instead, so we can see all the foreshadowing they’ve secretly been doing all along? Take the Winton foreshadowing of his dad bumping into the mom of one of the other kids at a store…

    spoiler

    some two episodes before it’s even revealed that they like each other, and then even later THEY are the people that sell their house (with a pool) that the poodles end up buying instead of Bluey’s house, because Winton’s dad moves out of his house to live with the other mom!

    It’s such a good show.
