The "WordPress devs don't like to upskill" framing is off. Most of them maintain sites for clients who need WordPress specifically. They stay because their clients stay, not because they can't learn TypeScript.

The real talent drain isn't about technology at all. It's the governance mess. The WP Engine lawsuit, Matt's behavior on community Slack, the constant drama. That's what's pushing people out.

But even with all of that, nobody's leaving for EmDash. They're leaving for freelance Webflow work or getting out of CMS entirely. Cloudflare would need to solve the "why should I rebuild my entire business on your platform" question before the talent pool argument matters.
