i started writing about it this morning and then i re-read something about the stock value tanking, there's actual data about that, and the only thing a company can do when the stock goes down like that is get a new CEO. it's almost the definition of what boards do.

i'm sure matt reminded them (as he reminded everyone today) that he keeps a lot of power no matter what the company does. and after a while of that the value keeps going down and they realize they either have to resign or do the deed.

the thing is, the company needs to do some bold product moves, and they have AI positioned as something that works inside WP, instead of seeing WP and working inside the web. they inherited this mission when they replaced the blogging community 20-something years ago, but they don't do anything there, other than offer the same UI that not very many people like.

i really want WordPress Lite. you're using a version of it now, it's a lot faster for writing blog posts. and in our world comments are also blog posts. very tightly integrated.
