So the guy running WordPress.com (business model: Uber for LAMP stack, not to be confused with WordPress.org, winner of Drupal’s Drag Race) is angry that WP Engine (business model: Lyft for LAMP stack, not to be confused with MediaWiki, the engine of WP) offers hosting for the same GPL licensed CMS as they do, am I understanding this correctly?
I recognize this style. Shame they stopped posting their weekly hackernews sneer.
Also, I just now realized that Automattic (business model: Uber for not posting female-presenting nipples) is a pun on this guy’s name.
my brain keeps telling me his social media username photomatt must be a pun for matte photo paper or matting your photos for an exhibit, but something tells me Matt thinks matting your own photos is for poor people (because it’s a lot of frustrating labor) and I doubt anyone’s demanding prints of his “rich boy with an expensive Nikon” photos
probably just a pun on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fotomat
and perhaps a little bow to lem’s “cyberiad” (automateusz, translated as automatthew, from the story automatthew’s friend)
