After Almost 6 Years…
I’m leaving Automattic. The first question would always be: “Why?” — Especially, considering the recent ongoing drama in the WordPress community, it’s easy to think if I (finally) left because of misalignment with Matt and the company.

Animal Crossing. Animal Crossing is my small wins. This game helped me get through when my son got hospitalized back in October 2020.
