Getting paid to be able to contribute to this sounds like a dream to me. I love the Internet, and I believe if we can give users the right tools, we can empower them, and keep them outside the walled gardens. Away from the walls of Meta, Google, Medium and Apple. I believe in an open web more than ever before. We are passionate about making the web a better place. In addition to how much I like their complete new way of working, there was something that attracted me even more. Quickly iterating on ideas, incorporating failure, and giving people who work on the product all possible freedom are just a few of their motivations. It’s also about how Automattic is strongly committed to corporate culture, and how it manages to keep installing it, no matter how big they get. The book is about much more than just working remotely. Or during the grand meetup, where the entire company meets. They do this during a few meetups, where the whole team gathers anywhere in the world for a week. Teams work fully remote 49 weeks a year, and meet in person for the remaining three to four weeks. It’s about how they have small teams, all over the world, that are completely self-managing. This book is about how, at Automattic, they have always worked at home, years before the pandemic. And the kids liked it as well because they had much more time with me.Ībout five years ago, I read The Year Without Pants, a book about Scott Berkun’s experience of working at Automattic in 2013. No longer sitting in the car for two hours a day was life-changing, it really allowed me to balance work and life much better. Working from home each day showed me that working can also be different. The many lockdowns over the past two years also had some influence on me. Besides, they also make Tumblr, WooCommerce, Pocket Casts, Day One and countless other great products.

On September 5th, I will start working as a Software Engineer at Automattic, the company started by Matt Mullenweg, the creator of WordPress. Eight exciting years, which I will look back at in detail in a subsequent blog post. At the end of August, after more than 8 years, I will leave my current company (VRT).
