Currently building @YmirApp in public. I tweet about bootstrapping, programming, devops. Avid memer. Often confused with his more handsome cardboard double.

Let's talk about what it's like to contribute to WordPress outside of the project itself.

I've been doing it out of my own pocket for over a decade and it's been a struggle.

It's made me think a lot about open source sustainability in WordPress.

So here's a 🧵 and a warning 🤣 Image Before we start, here's a little about my situation.

Most of what I work on making WordPress serverless is open source. I started @YmirApp to fund that open source work, but that hasn't worked so far so I created a GitHub sponsor page.

Alright, let's go!
