“There is no substitute for working alongside someone in the trenches.”

“I believe that software, and in fact entire companies, should be run in a way that assumes that the sum of the talent of people outside your walls is greater than the sum of the few you have inside. None of us are as smart as all of us.”

“One thing about open source is that even the failures contribute to the next thing that comes up. Unlike a company that could spend a million dollars in two years and fail and there’s nothing really to show for it, if you spend a million dollars on open source, you probably have something amazing that other people can build on.”

“Basically if you believe in Moore’s Law and you believe that hosting is going to become more and more commoditized over time, not being a host is a good idea. WordPress.com is a host at the end of the day. But we want to be able to provide a lot value and create a lot of value regardless of whether you host on WordPress.com or not. I mean, host on Amazon where they lower prices every year or Google App Engine or maybe Microsoft Azure will stop sucking.”

“It should not matter what hours you work or where you're [working] from. What matters is how you communicate and what you get done. It's a waste of the natural resources of time and energy to commute; when we break the shackles of what looks like work versus what actually drives value, 90% of the cost and space of an office and management will disappear. We will manage by trust and measuring output, rather than the easier task of tallying input.”
— Matt Mullenweg, WSJ.

“WordPress is in a market as competitive as it has ever been, especially on the proprietary and closed side. I believe WordPress will win, first and foremost, because of its community — the hundreds of core developers and large commercial companies, the tens of thousands of plugin and theme developers, and the millions of people who build beautiful things with WordPress every day. Automattic is here to support that community and invest the full strength of our resources to making WordPress a better product every day, bringing us closer to our shared mission of democratizing publishing. But a majority of the web isn’t on an open platform yet, and we have a lot of work ahead of us. Back to it!”
— Matt Mullenweg, New Funding for Automattic
