It's not looking good for the world's most widely used website builder. WordPress' founder, Matt Mullenweg, attacked WP Engine the other week and WP Engine sent Matt a cease and desist.
If you're not in the website-building community or manage websites, that's okay -- we'll give you the backstory.
Basically the #1 website builder is going after the #1 website host that hosts that website builder and the fallout is nuclear (pun intended).
There are a couple of things we get wrong in this episode -- like Automattic doesn't own the WordPress Foundation (however, Matt does own both).
Jake actually made a pretty detailed YouTube video covering everything. You can find that here:
