Improving WordPress
A wide-ranging conversation with host Jonathan Bossenger on going freelance, contributing to WordPress core, and stewarding WP-CLI as a maintainer. Alain also weighs how US and European developer cultures shape the way people approach open-source work.
Recorded for The Open Sourcery, this long-form talk traces Alain’s path into full-time consulting and the case for active open-source participation rather than passive consumption. It covers his core contributions, his work on WP-CLI, and the cultural differences he sees between American and European developers in how they engage with the project.
