It took *years* to get a REST API in #WordPress, but they're racing towards shoveling AI crud into core because, IDK, everyone's got fucking brainrot?

Clearly No Adult In Charge Of WordPress
WP Engine, who is in a prolonged legal battled with WordPress.org and Automattic over trademark and other legal matters bought a plug-in today. Congrats to them.
But then in response to this the WordPress.org X/Twitter account called WPE a parasite.
This was obviously Matt Mullenweg misusing his control over the non-profit/open source WordPress project to throw arrows and just be a total clown.
I’m not going to mince words here. The leadership (ahem Matt Mullenweg) is not right in the head. And he’s taking the WordPress project down with him. Which is a real shame, because the WordPress community on the whole is fantastic. But to outsiders they just see Matt acting erratic and, well, small.
Clearly there are no adults in the decision room at WP HQ. Where is Mary Hubbard the Executive Director of the WordPress project in all this? You know where? No where!
Something needs to be done. But nothing probably will.
This is just depressing. Full stop.

@chris I wondered what the WP.org/.com response would be when I saw that #WPackagist was brought into the WPEngine fold. If #WordPress actually gave a dam about modern PHP development they would have supported WPackagist long ago and moved to make it a first class citizen.
With any luck I will be exiting the WordPress space for good soon. Though I still need to do something about my personal MultiSite instance. I might just need to migrate it to something static initially.
Es war ja ursprünglich mein Plan, sämtliche(!) Artikel aus der Dampfdruck-Presse zu WordPress-Zeiten in Hubzillas Artikel-App zu integrieren.
Da es aber deutlich über 1.000 Artikel sind, ist das vertretbar nur automatisiert zu erledigen...

I've been away from the #WordPress ecosystem long enough that I sometimes forget about #WPDrama, and things are better for it.
I mean, they suck in different ways, but at least it's not the same bullshit every week.
