Matt Mullenweg Work Quotations

We focus on two things when hiring. First, find the best people you can in the world. And second, let them do their work. Just get out of their way.

Don't think about work in your bedroom or relaxation area.

If you want to be good at something, you really have to work at it every single day. You have to work hard at the things that are hard. Otherwise you are just treading water.

I don't care what hours you work. I don't care if you sleep late or if you pick a child up from school in the afternoon. It's all about your output.

You don't need to know someone personally to be able to discern whether their work is high quality or not. The idea of a meritocracy is that it's what they do, not who they are.

If you were building a real-time game like one of Zynga's games, the WordPress model wouldn't work well for that.
