“When people ask, who am I? my answer is that I am a real estate developer. Real estate is the Witherman way. Dirt courses through our veins. We have bones made of steel and glass, marble and granite, bricks and mortar, and concrete and wood. Some also say we have balls of steel. All good developers do.”

“In my experience, requirements change quite often, or new situations will arise that weren’t anticipated at the start of the project. If the situation can be addressed with a plugin, I just whip open the standalone plugin page, make the updates and pop the new plugin back in. Because the plugin is self-contained, it’s easy to recreate the problem, fix it, and get it back into the codebase.”
