If I were to wish for two things, they would be as much bandwidth as possible and ridiculously fast browser engines.
Matt Mullenweg
The rise of broadband and growing ubiquity of Internet access excites me the most. The world changes a lot when, no matter where you are - in the middle of a deserted highway or in a bustling city - you can get high speed broadband access.
Matt Mullenweg
You can't build everything and there is no more a killer feature. Everyone has a different killer feature.

I drive a Prius and drink $10k bottles of wine. The wine isnt on Instagram. The Prius is.
Matt Mullenweg
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.
Matt Mullenweg
One of the things I've been working on for the past few months is a radical simplification of the interface.

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.

If I'm on the titanic I want to be steering.

Simperium seems like a genuine utility for our own apps, and for other people as a service. And Simplenote, as a product, I love, and it's just darn handy.
Matt Mullenweg
A common quality I see of people who are successful is that they are voracious readers.
Matt Mullenweg
If you make the Internet, live on the internet.

There's no financial aspect to stats.
Matt Mullenweg
I do my best stuff midmorning and superlate at night, from 1 to 5 in the morning. Some people don't need sleep. I actually do need sleep. I just sleep all the time. I'll catch naps in the afternoon, or I'll take a 20-minute snooze in the office - just all the time. Our business is 24 hours. Our guys in Europe come online at midnight.
Matt Mullenweg
It's good to work for someone else. Because then you appreciate it more when you are an entrepreneur.
Matt Mullenweg
Usage is like oxygen for ideas. That means every moment you're working on something without it being in the public it's actually dying, deprived of the oxygen of the real world.
Matt Mullenweg
You can learn practically anything you want in the world online.

The relationship between WordPress and Tumblr has always been pretty friendly: Tumblr's own blog used to be on WP, WordPress.com supports Tumblr as a Publicize option alongside Twitter and Facebook, our Akismet team sends them daily emails of splogs on the service, and there's healthy import and export traffic both ways.
Matt Mullenweg
Much of the lifeblood of blogs is search engines - more than half the traffic for most blogs.
Matt Mullenweg
In my home office, I have two large, 30-inch computer monitors - a Mac and a PC. They share the same mouse and keyboard, so I can type or copy and paste between them. I'll typically do Web stuff on the Mac and e-mail and chat stuff on the PC.
