This week we’ve taken a look at the other side of running a WordPress business – the development.

We were joined by Alain Schlesser and Anton Ukhanev, two great developers who believe that developing your plugins and themes (and WordPress core itself) to as high a standard as you can will only help your business and the WordPress community grow further.

WordPress is growing in popularity, exceeding the 30% mark for the number of websites running WordPress worldwide. However, it’s also facing some controversy within the community over the approach being taken to Gutenberg, especially from developers.

I won’t give too much away, so listen in to hear about the pain-points within WordPress from a developer’s perspective, how this affects those running businesses around WordPress, and where the WordPress community went wrong and what it’s doing right with Gutenberg and more.
