Episode 635 What Happens When You Get Older In The WordPress Space With Bud Kraus

In this podcast episode, host Rob Cairns and guest Bud Kraus discuss the implications of aging within the WordPress community. The conversation highlights the transition of the platform from a niche hobby to a mature global industry, noting that much of its foundational knowledge resides with older professionals. Kraus advocates for the creation of a digital hall of fame or memorial system to honor the long-term contributions of members after they pass away. They also explore practical concerns for aging tech workers, such as the necessity of digital succession plans and maintaining security credentials for family members. Despite feeling occasionally out of place at youth-oriented events, both men emphasize that staying active in tech provides purpose and liberation during their later years.
