Automattic was the most bizarre collection of chucklefucks I've ever had the displeasure of interacting with. They contracted with me to write a Wordpress plugin that would import Flickr libraries, which would have bankrupted anyone with a significantly large image set based on wordpress.com's pricing back in the Obama years.

I never spoke to a single human being when I worked for them, and all of my technical questions in their Skype dev channel went unanswered. It feels insane to me that this is still a functioning company.
