At WPShout, we recently interviewed 15 of the best and best-known WordPress developers in the world (like Pippin Williamson, Helen Hou-Sandi, Tom McFarlin, and Curtis McHale) on the principles of WordPress development. We asked each developer to walk us through code they had written, and to describe how they personally approach WordPress development.
In this talk, I’ll present our key takeaways from across these 15 interviews: what we felt tied these folks together as top developers, and what they said in common about how to be a great WordPress developer, both in terms of coding practices and broader approach.
