In this episode, Joe and I interview Scott Taylor, who works at The New York Times, is a WordPress Core Committer, and has lead the release of WordPress 4.4. We discuss dig into many WordPress 4.4 features, the thinking behind them, what it's like to lead a release, and core development in general. We also talked about WordCamp US, where we recorded the podcast from, including Scott's experience speaking during the State of the Word.
