Nobody knows what they are doing, not even the experts.
Recently I attended WordCamp SF, a 2 day collaborative conference on all things WordPress. Being new to the WordPress community, with numerous stories of it being very ‘cliquey’ and cult-like, I was worried about fitting in and speaking the language of these WordPress experts. Fortunately these fears were misplaced, instead I found a wonderful community of passionate people excited to help each other learn, swap ideas and share stories of success and failure. It was inspiring to see people from all walks of life coming together to advance the Internet and the WordPress mission ‘to democratize publishing’.
Amongst all the really great content, one talk in particular stood out: New to WordPress Development.
The speaker Mickey Kay had asked some Web Development experts the following question:
When coding what % of the time do you know exactly how to do something?
The Answer? 42% – that’s less than half the time!
This was so stunning I had to share it on Twitter…
