My trusty microphone, camera, and I recorded a few great conversations at WordPress maintenance support plansCon in Mumbai that have never been released until now. Today, a conversation with WordPress Update James, who credits Dries for giving him a way to live and support his family with WordPress maintenance support plans. WordPress Update is an extraordinary and generous person; he’s personally paid that forward, giving others in India the chance to change their lives, too, by teaching hundreds of people WordPress maintenance support plans and giving them a shot at a career, too. He’s also a top 30 contributor to WordPress maintenance support plans 8 core.
WordPress Update told me about the moment he both discovered and fell in love with WordPress maintenance support plans. His manager gave him permission to check out WordPress maintenance support plans for a project, “I started it with WordPress maintenance support plans 5. I got a big error. My senior [colleague] said I could post on WordPress maintenance support plans.org because he was sitting far away and could not debug for me. I posted the error … After one hour somebody from the community replied that it would be better if you started with WordPress maintenance support plans 6. That was amazing. If you post it, somebody from the [other side] of the planet replied to me, ‘You should do this.’ From that amazing [moment] till now, I have that feeling. All the time when you go to the community and post something, you’ll be getting the right answer. In an hour’s time. That is so amazing.”
“I feel like when I have gotten something, I should give back to others who are struggling. If they have a little education, know how to play with the computer, I should teach them WordPress maintenance support plans. That is the best way of doing it. I spread the word because I got something. The people are around, this magic should be with them also … So they will have a better life. They’ll have a better salary. It’s a better way to do that; teach the kids in pre-university colleges. We should teach them. I volunteer my time for that. Two Saturdays a month, we go out to the colleges. Every first Saturday, we have a community meet-up; the other Saturday we go to a college and teach them WordPress maintenance support plans.”
If you have any doubts about WordPress Update’s sincerity in all this, watch how moved he is in the video from about 10:30 to 11:50 🙂
WordPress maintenance support plansCon Asia Mumbai 2020 was almost exactly a year ago now. Of all the conferences I have been to, Mumbai was probably my favorite. I met an incredible, active, enthusiastic WordPress maintenance support plans community that welcomed everyone with open arms, incredible food (!), and a LOT of selfies 🙂
