👋 👋 Hello hello!

I think anyone who's worked with WordPress for a good amount of time eventually gets to the point of lamenting storing all of a site's content in wp_posts. I was stoked to watch @JJJ's 2019 WCEU presentation and hear all of those frustrations so eloquently phrased in the introduction, and elated that he went on to describe a project which seemed to very cleanly address the issue - and prospectively, maybe one day introduce it's sorely needed utility into core :)

I largely originally learned to code on WordPress many years ago, and COVID times have mandated my return to the platform. I'm seeking to really get involved in more collaborative efforts - and even finally contributing to core and Gutenberg as I am able - both out of excitement to contribute to projects I really ideologically care about as well as to build up a more employable GitHub history. I love the role WordPress plays in facilitating people to express themselves, and feel it's FOSS status really embodies the promise of the internet.

I have always learned best by doing and teaching others, and I'm really looking forward to build a better understanding of BerlinDB through the same approach - it is something which I am very excited to begin using in various projects moving forward 😄

Cheers 🥂

👋 hey @bosconian-dynamics, welcome, and I'm so glad you enjoyed my presentation.

You and I are very much aligned when it comes to FOSS, WordPress, learning, teaching, and cheers'ing. 🥂

Glad that you're back to WordPress, say nothing of the circumstances of the world. 💫
