I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my past 4, almost 5 years, with Automattic. You’ve built some truly amazing “things” in your life thus far, and I know you won’t stop there. May your next year bring a wealth of discovery and enjoyment!

Thanks for making it easy for people to create their own websites. I love WordPress.

God Bless You and all your friends and family. And everyone who uses WP.

Thank you! Automattic has a variety of roles, some which require coding and some don’t. Relevant experience and being able to point to similar work you’ve done as what we’re hiring for is a huge help, but if you don’t have that on your resume an amazing cover letter goes a long way. All of our hires have trials where they do some version of the work that they would do if hired, and that ends up being a pretty good indicator of fit.

I enjoyed the last podcast you did with Tim. You mentioned you’ve changed your mind about kids. I have two kids and I honestly think you’ll be an amazing dad. You enjoy the challenge of creating open source, well you’ll truly love raising children. It’s the best job in the world.

Lastly I’m an Optometrist in the UK, with no coding knowledge. I have good sales skills! What do I need to do to get a job at Automattic? I have my own practice, but would love to go into the tech world and software development.

Any books, tips or references would be great on learning to code.

Wish you all the best.
