RIP Eric Binnion
Automattic is honoring the late Eric Binnion by adding a commemorative header to their websites for 30 days. The company is also mourning the loss of a highly respected team member who received their Distinguished Janitor Award.
Why it matters
It highlights corporate culture and the human side of tech companies when dealing with the loss of long-term, influential employees.
For the next 30 days, a few billion of you will get an extra header in honor of Eric Binnion . The code in Nginx to do this is poetic:
add_header X-Remembering "Eric Binnion < https://friendsofericbinnion.wordpress.com/ >" always;
Our design team will make that less AI and more humane in the coming days.
Automattic.com will have a mourning band for 30 days.
