RE: Scouting Adventure - Game 48 - Day 43 (May 16, 2020)
Well technically they kind of are the same people, Matt Mullenweg is the creator of the open source WordPress software, he basically realized he needed to make money to keep WordPress going so he started a company called Automatic and WordPress.com where they started charging for additional hosting/features. But the actual core WordPress software, that they are still working on and updating, is always open source and free. Here is a good interview with him where he explains it
Oh wow! Thanks for finding that interview. Obviously the information I was repeating was incorrect (or I interpreted it incorrectly). That was really an interesting interview. I'm glad I brought it up so that you could set me straight. THANK-YOU! I would love to have a boss like him.
Yep, definitely seems like a great company to work for :)
