\"George1) What do you do for a living (company you work for, official title, daily responsibilities, etc.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I work for Automattic, leading the team that builds the Jetpack plugin! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Yes, I’m picking a Star Wars character, and no, this decision was in no way influenced by Joe.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
