Anybody else notice that Automattic (the wordpress company) now owns the github ...

LearnBoost/Guillermo made Socket.io; they had a startup under the same umbrella called CloudUp; Automattic acquired CloudUp/LearnBoost/Socket.io (2 years ago I think).

We do a lot more than just WordPress. :)

But yes, they came aboard with the LearnBoost / CloudUp acquisition nearly almost two years ago.

A lot of devs -- both pre-hire background and post-hire focus -- have little or nothing to do with the WordPress back-end.

Well I guess LearnBoost,whatever it was, was "acquired" by Automattic.
