Luke Harris says ‘No more WordPress’
Luke Harris, writing on his blog:
After 14 years I’m out. All of the WordPress sites I managed have been converted to static sites or Kirby. The expensive Cloudways server has been shut down. GeneratePress, GenerateBlocks, Akismet, and ManageWP cancelled. WordPress dot com accounts deleted. Feels good.
It’s really sad to see such experienced WordPress supporters go away from the platform, and it’s quite clear that the WordPress-WPEngine drama is causing more harm than good to the community.
I’d be lying if I said haven’t thought about my future with WordPress, but I’m far from taking a drastic step like this. I still love this platform and community, and still love building sites with WordPress. In fact, I’m actively looking for a new job that has me working closer to WordPress, so if you have any leads, you know where to find me.
