WordPress Founder Interview

By Deane Barker

Matt Mullenweg, one of the founders of WordPress, has a new article/interview where he says…well, a lot.

First, JAMStack is overblown:

“Jamstack is a regression for the vast majority of the people adopting it. The usability and functionality is actually lower.”

Second, WordPress will take over the web:

“I don’t think the era of WordPress is over. I think we’re going to reach over 50 per cent market share in the next few years.”

The entire thing was in the context of a debate with Netlify’s CEO Matt Biilmann. One of his comments was:

“Last time I checked, about 90 per cent of major security incidents infected WordPress. It’s not the best track record.”

Run for cover, folks.
