Welcome To The Community
And Your New Career
We are the sum total of our experiences. Those experiences – be they positive or negative – make us the person we are, at any given point in our lives.
And, like a flowing river, those same experiences, and those yet to come, continue to influence and reshape the person we are, and the person we become.B.J. Neblett
None of us are the same as we were yesterday, nor will be tomorrow.
Heads up on why @WordPressiOS updates have been absent… we were locked by App Store. To be able to ship updates and bug fixes again we had to commit to support in-app purchases for .com plans. I know why this is problematic, open to suggestions. Allow others IAP? New name?

Big Questions I’m thinking about:
- We believe in democratizing publishing. How do we democratize the training involved while making it equitable?
- Fair representations of brands without pitch-fest
- Standards of outcomes
- Enforcing standards
- For the languages, tools, and other resources involved in developing, how can the training for those also be available with quality and equitability?
Dear #WordPress community – I'm working with 50 individuals who have had their livelihoods upended by Covid. They are learning to code alongside learning WP. I'll continue onboarding them into official and unofficial parts of our community.

When you've been working hard and feeling almost good about your level of platform knowledge and skill, and then you read the release notes for the upcoming WP/Gutenberg features and you're like… sigh, jk I'm so behind, better plan my next pandemic study time project 😷😓
