WordPress Origin Story
Like most PHP developers, I was virulently anti-Wordpress for years. Once I had to write a WP plugin for a client and saw how great the plugin API is, I got interested. Then when I discovered how easy it is to set up a functional website with a control panel that clients love, I was hooked. The ability to just tell a designer “make it a WP theme” sealed the deal.
I still find the WordPress source code to be a mess and I feel that a default WP install is insecure to the point of being irresponsible. I am helping rectify those faults one patch at a time.
