By July 2023, I will be retired from reviews.
There are a lot of reasons why, but none matter for the purpose of this post.
I’ve already written up and scheduled some posts about my time there, and things I’ve seen. One about when I realized the atmosphere in developers had made a serious shift (it involves plugin theft, NDAs, GPL, and impersonation), as well as why I hate most security plugins.
But my problem is that I have a lot of plugin stories to tell.
What kind of stories do you want to hear? What things have you always wondered about?
While I will not name names except in cases where the story happened in public. In my first post (July 5) I’ll explain why in a little more detail about why I don’t name, so don’t ask for that. Besides, if I name and shame, they’ll come after me and I’m too tired for that shit.
I’m weeding through my notes (yes, I have them for self protection) of stories that can be sanitized and retold, but not all can.
Do people want to hear about common mistakes? Do they just want to see someone losing their blob (that’s most of them)? The ones I think most people would want to hear is thinks like the guy who stole a plugin from the contractor he hired.
So. Comments are open. Do the thing. But be nice.
