As Pete Seeger and King Solomon wrote, “To everything there is a season: A time to be born, a time to die; a time to plant, a time to start a new job at a new company.”
In that spirit, I’ve left AOL in order to join the team at Automattic. Not everyone has heard of Automattic, but almost everyone has heard of their flagship service, WordPress.com.
At Automattic, I’m a part of the Theme Team: a group of very attractive people with highly specialized skills in the realm of “Making your blog look good.” That’s a daunting task when you’re trying to cater to millions and millions of bloggers (and millions and millions and millions more readers), but I’m enjoying the challenge.
Congrats!
Sounds like a great opportunity.
Still going to have time to build add-ons?
Yeah, I’ll still be doing occasional development on my own add-ons, but I’m getting out of the freelance development game.
Let me know if you need to throw any clients my way :)
