My take on the @WordPress and @wpengine saga. To sum it up: "Social media these days, where the Villains are the Heroes"

WordPress owns trademarks which WPEngine abused for years for which numerous lawsuits have been filed by @automattic. Which you know nothing about as no news outlet published these.

WPEngine also used the WordPress infrastructure, without paying a dime as it built its business around it. It paid a un insignificant amount as a "donation" to WordPress and also had insignificant contributions to the source code. So it didn't even contribute to the development of WordPress as it made them millions.

After 2 years of negotiations leading nowhere Automattic had enough and cut their access to https://t.co/FmtlJPqjBb as a result according to their Terms (which WPEngine agreed upon when signing up). It also forked their plugin and made it available under the same name to provide continuity and not disrupt existing installs. As the plugin hosted on https://t.co/KxkpPYQgC4 is GPL (open source), they can absolutely do this. Anyone can fork it and re-publish it.

WPEngine uses their influence to portray @photomatt and @automattic as the Villain, and it quickly becomes viral. Now WordPress is under huge amount of pressure from the "outraged" users that WPEngine is pitting against them.

No one is "suffering" from the change as the migration is painless, all features continue to work, there were minor outages in WPEngine plugin updates because they had a free-ride on https://t.co/KxkpPYQgC4 resources and bandwidth so they didn't bother to mirror it, even AFTER they sued Automattic.

Basically WPEngine is outraged because it wants to continue to abuse Trademarks and https://t.co/KxkpPYQgC4 infrastructure, get free publicity from being published in the https://t.co/KxkpPYQgC4 plugin directory and don't pay a dime while Automattic is the creator and main contributor to WordPress and all infrastructure around it.

Why doesn’t your enterprise #MicrosoftEdge?

In my mind, I see it as very secure, easy to manage, and comes preinstalled.

I'd love to know your take on this topic.

Beware of Dropbox Sign. They deleted all of our stored signed documents (Contracts, NDAs, etc), then blamed this on a random integration we activated that deleted our data. We don’t have any integration enabled, we’re doing all our signing from the Dropbox Sign website. #dropbox

4/4: What's one issue related to Git that's been bothering you, and what's your best approach for tackling it? #devops #agilemethodology #development

[Nick Ciolpan @nickciolpan]

3/4: While trunk-based development is generally superior for enabling better integration, I'm still not entirely convinced it's the best approach for version control, as it can be a hassle to track and cluster feature commits. #devops #agilemethodology #development

[Nick Ciolpan @nickciolpan]

1/4: The Git Struggle is Real. Feature branches can be one of the biggest problem creators in a code base. Mostly around delayed integration and partial implementations. #devops #agilemethodology #development

Just launched a new plugin for Figma. Effortlessly search and insert components and named layers for lightning-fast prototyping. Had so much fun coding it thanks to @figma's on-point documentation.
