On the podcast today we have Tara King. Tara has recently begun working for Automattic in developer relations, and it’s an important role within the WordPress community. Tara will lead a newly formed team who will get out and about; trying to understand the pain points which people are having with the new editor and full site editing. They will then report this back to the developer and contributor teams, and hopefully establish a feedback loop to make the editor better. They are also creating blogs, podcasts, courses and many other content to help people get up to speed, and perhaps use, or better understand, the Block Editor. If you’re interested in, or concerned about, Gutenberg, then have a listen to Tara on the podcast.

We talk about what he has been building with blocks and why he thinks that they represent a bright future for WordPress. For Lee, it’s about the extra capabilities which they bring for end users.
