\nMatt Perry<\/a><\/b> is speaking on Scaling websites with WordPress examples: lessons from the movies<\/a><\/b> at WordCamp Minneapolis.<\/div>\n

What inspired or motivated you to give this talk at WordCamp?<\/h2>\n

I feel like an accessible talk about scaling is something that is missing from the world — being able to write code that can scale is an important skill for the WordPress developer. Also, I like movies.<\/p>\n

How do you \u201ccreate intention\u201d in your job, career, or life?<\/h2>\n

One way that I create intention in my career is to check in with myself and my teammates once a year, in a sort of big-picture, directional way. Do I still love what I’m doing? Am I learning every day?<\/p>\n

If you were a WordPress Plugin, what Plugin would you be and why?<\/h2>\n

Hello Dolly. I love being an object of controversy.<\/p>\n

If you were not doing your current job, what profession would you be in and why?<\/h2>\n

I would be a teacher, like both of my parents. I love teaching and learning. I recently began volunteering with an amazing organization here in Seattle that teaches coding skills in the prison system — check them out: www.un-loop.org<\/p>\n

What professional and\/or research resource(s) can’t you live without?<\/h2>\n

Good documentation. I’m grateful every day for the dozens of times I look up a function or technique online. I use Dash (the OSX app) to make it easy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
