Very proud to announce that over the weekend we have engaged Stephen Shackelford and Shawn J. Rabin of @SusmanGodfrey. Looking forward to working together to fight for Freedom, Liberty, and Open Source.

everyone is telling me to focus on their area of expertise because they think our opportunity in that area is huge
they aren’t wrong. i am just going for all.

It’s been great seeing how decisive and incisive execution has been under @photomatt’s leadership as CEO of @automattic.
Matt gets a lot of shit for all the wrong reasons. If open source contributors were rewarded with even 20% of the value that closed source gets, Automattic would be a $1-2 trillion dollar company today.
I believe that we will actually see many open source companies valued in the trillions.
All the open weights Chinese labs are heading in that direction … very clearly.
There will be many.
In the US we have @liquidai, @nvidia and a few who “want” to be the leading open weights American labs like @thinkymachines and of course @Meta …
After days of upheaval at Automattic, following a failed attempt to remove CEO Matt Mullenweg, the company has a new board.

Our CEO @photomatt is living up to his handle! The @bookingpress team gifted Matt a photobook at @WordCampUS, and we wanted to share a few of our favorite pages.
The photos trace Matt’s open source journey from co-founding @WordPress with Mike Little to the present day. What a meaningful keepsake!

What if you could generate a site with Lovable, Base44, v0, Claude, ChatGPT, etc, and import into WordPress as a real block theme?
Oh wait you can

Your Black Friday campaign is ready. But is your infrastructure?
On September 29, experts from Automattic for Agencies, @WooCommerce, and @Pressable break down how to prepare your ecommerce store for peak ecommerce season.
We’ll dive into everything from load testing and performance monitoring to what happens when traffic spikes but revenue doesn’t.
Plus, we’ll run two AI agent demos: load-testing a store at 4x its normal traffic, identifying performance bottlenecks, and setting up monitoring for the entire peak season.
Black Friday will be here before you know it. It’s time to start preparing.

We had a soft launch of @SpacefastHQ yesterday before our board meeting, @batuhan (and now a team!) have been cooking what I think is the future of @WordPress and AI. You don't have to know or think WordPress, but this leverages wp.cloud to give you a Real Database, auth, uploads, email, @akismet / @automattic spam protection, and soon stats.
The architecture is amazing I'd actually love to talk to @Lovable et al see if we can host things for them for less than they spend now.
Datacenter space and components are getting pricey... So we might have to limit signups to prioritize our @WordPressVIP customers but get in while you can!
so yesterday @batuhan gave me access to @SpacefastHQ and i got to play with the product, even transferred a project from cloudflare. actually, claude code did it
super seamless and agent friendly experience
i like cloudflare but its still too much for non dev vibe coders like me. spacefast just feels friendlier, better ui, better control, agent friendly from the ground up

AI can build a website in minutes, but it still can't decide what ships.
That's the takeaway from Automattic for Agencies' latest webinar on AI and @WordPress, led by AI Product Lead @ronnieburt.
