    So he’s added 50% more severance (6 -> 9 months) to this round of loyalty purges, AND is snooping on employees email?

    Part of me is sad, but the rest of me wants more popcorn since I can’t wait for Act 3.

    mullenweg pissing you off? you should totally replace WordPress with [static blog generator using an idiosyncratic variant of markdown], i wrote it yesterday in [nightly rust/perl 4/ocaml]. It doesn’t have [list of basic blogging features] because those are wrong things to want
