Savvii Spotlight
A written profile of the WP-CLI maintainer: how he landed in WordPress, why technical debt is the threat he most wants the project to outrun, and what it took to turn unpaid core work into a sustainable living. Alain on freelancing, future-proofing, and not burning out.
Alain recounts picking WordPress almost by accident, drawn to its market share, then building a freelance practice around it. He frames his mission as making WordPress future-proof enough to weather the next online revolutions without drowning in technical debt, and reflects on how years of unpaid core work and educational writing eventually led to sponsorship of the effort.
