The WordPress community has a visibility-to-competence ratio problem. The loudest voices aren’t always building products of any real substance. Posting frequency, podcast appearances, and conference stages don’t tell you how big the business actually is. Some of the most visible people here run companies that aren’t nearly as successful as their personal brand suggests. Building a real product, not a feature with a landing page, is harder and slower than building an audience. Post count is not a proxy for competence. Worth keeping in mind when you’re deciding who to learn from.
