We talk about his first experience using WordPress and building a company in college. Then we talk about how Automattic’s support team has grown extensively as a fully remote team. We go into Automattic’s amazing company rule – no internal email,  and how that affects the support team.

  • How Automattic effectively supports a wide variety of different products.
