Podcast Episode 29: iThemes Security Creator Chris Wiegman on Flying, Plugins & Developer Tools

At WordCamp Atlanta, Mark sat down with Chris Wiegman, the creator of Better WP Security. Now known as iThemes Security, it is installed on over 900,000 WordPress sites. Chris talks about his experiences as a flight captain flying over the Hawaiian islands and what happened when an earthquake occurred shortly after takeoff. He also talks about why he created Better WP Security, the process of selling the plugin to iThemes and the tools he’s created in his new role at WP Engine. He describes his move from iThemes to WP Engine as “the move I didn’t know I needed to make.”
