David Stone (@superdav42) – WordPress user profile

Bio

Worked at @Automattic on @woocommerce . Now I revive the awesome open source project Multisite Ultimate, contribute the Core AI Team, and make WordPress more awesome.

Interests

Soccer, programming, family, food, fun, friends, and other ‘f’ words.

WordPress Origin Story

So about 2005 I was reviewing all the open source CMS’s out there. Then it dawned on me. WordPress is really just a CMS, I don’t need Drupal or any of this complex junk. So now I use WordPress whenever it makes sense.
