Episode 30 – John James Jacoby, the Master of Alliteration
For episode 30 we spoke with JJJ, a man that needs little introduction. During the episode we hear about his personal history in the early days of software development and his desire to work on the software that “brings people together for a purpose”.
This episode was sponsored by WP Ninjas, the creators of Ninja Demo and the highly popular Ninja Forms plugin.

Transcript
INTRO: Welcome to Apply Filters, the podcast all about WordPress development. Now here’s your hosts, Pippin Williamson and Brad Touesnard.
BRAD: Welcome to Episode 30. Today, we have a special guest with us. We have John James Jacoby, and we’re going to be talking to him about working remotely, his Flox project, and about his crowd funding campaign that he has on the go. But first, Pippin, what about those sponsors?
PIPPIN: This episode is once again sponsored by the WP Ninjas, who have been kind enough to sponsor quite a few episodes, as we’ve been going. They are the developers behind the popular plugin Ninja Forms, as well as Ninja Demo and a couple of other plugins. Go check them out. They’re doing some pretty awesome work.
BRAD: Cool.
PIPPIN: John, why don’t we jump in and talk to you a bit.
BRAD: Welcome to the show, John.
PIPPIN: Yeah! It’s awesome to have you.
JOHN: Thank you. It’s super awesome to hang out with you guys again. Very cool.
BRAD: Yeah.
PIPPIN: Well, why don’t you first tell us just a little bit about yourself and maybe start by – when did you first get into coding, and then how did you get into WordPress from there?
JOHN: That’s a good question. My intro into coding was, gosh, I was probably — this was probably 1995.
BRAD: What?!
JOHN: Yeah.
BRAD: What that Atari or something?
JOHN: I would have been 16, maybe. I don’t know. It’s fuzzy now, right? It would have been on an old — my dad bought me. I convinced him. I persuaded him to buy me a Packard Bell, right? It was like I had a friend that was into software and kind of learning just a little Visual Basic programs, little things to do whatever, and he had a Visual Basic book. He was building little, stupid stuff, and I was like, wow, this is incredible. Like, you can just do this. That’s neat. I think he had a Packard Bell, and I was, like, well, clearly this is the machine I need to have.
