I recently found this gem of a video.
Matt Mullenweg was a guest speaker at Joomla’s World Conference in 2013, and his talk was on his story with WordPress.
If you’re interested in the history of WordPress and Automattic. How it all came to be including some huge forks in the road and major decsions that were made that make WordPress what it is today- I highly recommend watching it.
