Lester Chan (@gamerz) – WordPress user profile

Bio

I am quite a fussy person and may like to complain a lot. Maybe I aim for perfection and wants everything to be done my way or what I expect it to be. I admit I am an impatient person as I do things very fast and within the shortest time possible. My friends always say I eat, drink, walk and talk very fast. Well, that’s me.

Interests

Web Development/Programming, Music, Computer Games, Movies, Food, Sleep, Slack, Gadgets

WordPress Origin Story

I have been coding in PHP for more than 10 years. My first WordPress plugin was back in 2003 when WordPress was forked from b2. The reason I started creating WordPress plugins is because there are a few features like Polls and UsersOnline found in popular forums like vBulletin/IP Board not present in WordPress. I needed those features to engage my readers and hence I decided to create it and share it within the WordPress community as a plugin.
