WordPress as a platform
Why WordPress? Simple, size. That’s the reason, no other. It’s the #1 software platform on Earth, in terms of number of people who know how to execute within the platform. In other words, the employee pool is larger in WordPress than in any other ecosystem. This is a crucial thing to understand. When you’re talking about websites, and mobile app back ends, there are MILLIONS more human beings who know how to program WordPress than any other system.
If there were 10 times as many Joomla, Laravel, .net, Swift, Rails, Synphony, React, Vue, programmers as WordPress programmers, I’d recommend those things. The reality, is there are more WordPress programmers than all those technologies COMBINED.. TIMES TEN.
Onboarding and setup
The normal way technology teams work, is to onboard the human being, and make them fit within the corporate culture of the company. This is known as “onboarding”, and it’s a very expensive, and time consuming process.
24 hour development schedule
Time difference problem goes away.
Programmers cannot work more than 4 hours a day. It’s a scam.
The Kernel
The Kernel is where the action happens.
2 PAIR programmers, 1 developer
4 hour shift for programmers
4-12 hour shift for developers
runs 24 hours a day seven days a week
In PAIR programming there are two roles: driver and navigator
First 2 hours of shift, programmer is driver
2nd 2 hours of shift, programmer is navigator
3 tiers of humans in the General stack
stakeholders – This is, well at least me. My partners, and clients.
developers – This person is a journeyman web developer.
programmers – This person is a PHP programmer who makes $10/hr. He is expected to know basic WordPress programming, but not architectures
