Matt Mullenweg responds to David Heinemeier Hansson in their “respectful debate.”

I used quotes there because Mullenweg’s new blog (post deleted, so here’s an archive) includes statements like:

David, perhaps it would be good to explore with a therapist or coach why you keep having these great ideas but cannot scale them beyond a handful of niche customers. I will give full credit and respect. 37signals inspired tons of what Automattic does! We’re now half a billion in revenue. Why are you still so small?

DHH posted on X in reply: “Maybe I’m supposed to get mad at this, but instead I just get sad.”

Update: Added archive link to deleted blog post.

Response to DHH
