Celebrating Eric Binnion’s Legacy
Eric was a husband, father, and software engineer at Automattic. He made a huge impact building the infrastructure the open web runs on, including WordPress, Jetpack, WooCommerce, and his own plugins. His work touched the lives of more than a thousand Automatticians, the wider open source community, and the internet at large, and he will be missed by those who were lucky enough to know him.
