@WordCampLanc @aaronjorbin Everyone is bad at estimating how long something will take.

“How long will it take to build a website?” is almost as hard as “How much does a website cost?”

@WordCampLanc @aaronjorbin Part of being a senior developer is mentoring other people, helping them grow, helping them break down work into small manageable steps.

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @aaronjorbin @aaronjorbin’s super powers:
– Writing code that gets thrown away
– Being in meetings

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @aaronjorbin We need to expand beyond WordPress to other things like Drupal, Rails, React etc. How are they solving problems? How can that come back to WordPress.

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @aaronjorbin When you only know one skill in web development you miss out on solutions using other technologies. Going broad about different knowledge expands your base and the potential to see new solutions.

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @aaronjorbin @aaronjorbin spends less time coding PHP or JavaScript these days and more time coding in Excel as a director.

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @aaronjorbin Being intermediate is not bad.

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @aaronjorbin The biggest part of your developer career will be as an intermediate developer. Being a senior developer is not easy. Not everyone wants to be a senior level developer.

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @aaronjorbin You’ll see junior developers, developers, and senior developers. But not intermediate developers.

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @aaronjorbin “My first job I was a Senior Backend Engineer. How could I be a senior engineer in my first job?” @aaronjorbin

Ignore job titles. Job titles are worthless in tech.

@aaronjorbin I’ve been avoiding the term “user” since hearing a talk from someone in like 2005 saying “Where else do we hear the term user? Drug users. I don’t want to think of my visitors like addicted druggies.”

@aaronjorbin I’m sorry for you loss.

@aaronjorbin Did you use WordPress to make it?

@aaronjorbin @WordCampUS Johannes Gutenberg.

@aaronjorbin Ooo is Gutenberg going to be on the ballot?

@aaronjorbin It’s on my to-do list. Right down there with sculpt 6-pack abs and cleaning my office.

@aaronjorbin @WordCampNYC I don’t know what you’re talking about?!! I docker kill’d it
