Being a mature developer means more than just being a mature human. It means having a specific attitude towards your work, an ability to predict risk, and an open mind. Developer maturity affects your code, your place in the development community, and your ability to keep clients and jobs.

Why does this matter to you? In this talk, I will point the way for new developers and provide a dose of perspective for code veterans. I’ll spell out what developer maturity is, and make the case for mentoring those that don’t have it yet. Whether you’re just starting out in WordPress development or resting comfortably on your laurels, this talk is for you.
