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!
