What inspired or motivated you to give this talk at WordCamp?
I’m excited to talk about productivity and continuous improvement because it’s made such a big difference to my life. I hope that by sharing my experience I can help others do more each day and feel the significance of their work.
Do you have any advice or words of encouragement for those who are thinking about getting involved in the WordPress community?
Welcome! Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Everyone has to start somewhere and the community is a really friendly place. The best way to get involved is to start meeting people and hacking on a new project.
If you could make one improvement to WordPress today, what would it be?
I’d find a way to make it easier for beginners to jump into writing their own plugins and themes. A little custom code can go a long way!
Who do you most admire and why?
When it comes to WordPress, I admire my colleague Andrew Taylor. Whenever I, another colleague, or even a random stranger has a WordPress question he’ll go above and beyond to help any way he can.
What’s your favorite quote from a book or movie?
Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
