I think of Wordpress like I think of enterprise software. It got so much adoption that it just kept working to check more boxes for a wider ranger of users and is now so bloated that it’s a bad experience.

Really interesting case study of how open source can grow/mutate/rot over time. I think more people should pay attention to it on a meta level. Lots of do's and don'ts in there.
