"The Hippy Times are going to end at some point." —Bob Dunn

In this episode of Post Status Excerpt, David has an honest and deep dive with Bob Dunn into the "versions" of the WordPress community — something Bob covered in a recent blog post that has gotten some attention recently. They discuss what each "version" was like, how money can make a community act differently, and how people position themselves, for better or worse, in reaction to changes in the community.

Also: David asks Bob if certain changes are unavoidable once a community gets to a certain size and asks what is missing from the WordPress community today that existed in the early days.
