We live in a world where simplified solutions are readily available everywhere, and results are expected instantly. So how do we meet those expectations? How do we lower the entry barrier and provide quick and easy ways to set up websites, especially for non-professionals? And how do web hosting companies ensure that people don’t simply go for a Facebook page instead — whose set-up is mind-blowingly quick and easy?

By removing as many steps as possible, says Andrey—every step in set-up matters, however small, on the hoster and WordPress side. Luckily, we’re already taking big steps in the right direction. Listen in!

The online landscape has seen an incredible transformation over the last few years, where more businesses created ecommerce websites out of necessity – they had to in order to survive. But now as things get back to normal, we take a look at what has stayed, and what fell by the wayside. And no one is better positioned to do that than Robert Blaize, a Senior Engineer at WebPros.

He’s been working with servers since the late 1990s, which means he’s seen what has come and gone, and what has staying power.

They say those who can’t do teach, but that’s certainly not the case for Carrie Dils. Her path from Starbucks Barista to Frontend Developer for Fortune 100 companies is an incredibly interesting one that includes starting and leaving web development in hopes of opening a coffee shop, then coming back with a vengeance to learn WordPress development, work with some of the biggest companies in the world, and then teach WordPress Development.

A common story among WordPress developers of a certain age is that they are self-taught. Tracy Apps has a similar story – but the similarities end there.

WP-CLI is a command-line interface that is able to execute WordPress code, as well as so much more. While you’re locked into specific use cases using the Dashboard (namely the ones the Core team thinks of), WP-CLI is much more expressive and scalable.

For this episode, we’re joined by Alain Schlesser. He’s the Senior Engineer at XWP; but he also maintains WP-CLI as an open source project.

Just 10 years ago, the common way to manage your infrastructure for many enterprises and large organizations was to do it themselves – something referred to as “on prem,” for on premises.

As you can imagine, there are a lot of headaches that come along with managing your infrastructure this way. You need to have someone on call all the time incase something goes wrong. If a piece of hardware breaks, you either need to keep backups on hand or order them and hope they come quickly.

And you may be at the mercy of certain events, like the iOS update from 2013 that took down college networks across the country.

Luckily in 2022, there’s a better way: hyperscalers.
