He understands the risks that businesses face when their websites are targeted by bots, leading to potential loss of business.

Helmut emphasizes the importance of understanding and only installing plugins that are necessary, while also recommending against saving data that you don't know you need. He shares his personal experience of navigating GDPR compliance, including his decision to not use Google Analytics for his captcha website.ย
The conversation also touches on the challenges of convincing upper management to sell their product and create a company, and the legal considerations involved in ensuring compliance with GDPR. Helmut highlights that GDPR is not just limited to Austria, but has implications for businesses in other countries as well. They discuss the myths surrounding GDPR and clarify what activities can still be done as long as they are compliant.ย
The episode also delves into the Helmut's own experiences with GDPR compliance, including the complexities of justifying the use of certain resources and the repercussions of removing them. He explains how he has adapted his own solution, Captcha EU, to comply with GDPR and how it has become a sellable product. He also touches on the importance of only storing necessary data and the need for further improvements in GDPR implementation on websites.ย

๐๏ธ On this episode of Osom To Know, we dive into the world of WordPress development with our guest, Adam Zieliลski. Adam shares his experiences and insights on various topics, starting with the innovative iOS application called Block Nodes, which allows users to write notes using Gutenberg and syncs the content across devices. We also discuss the concept of playground for test environments, where users can run a temporary WordPress in their browser to test plugins or themes, eliminating the need for server space. Adam suggests using playground for product demos, allowing users to interact with plugins or themes on a company's website without the need for screenshots or videos.
๐ We then explore the concept of edge computing within WordPress, where parts are distributed to servers closer to end users for faster performance. Adam proposes the idea of downloading the entire WordPress to end devices, making it the ultimate progressive web app. With the "choose your own journey" aspect of the playground environment, Adam emphasizes the need to pivot, talk to customers, and listen to feedback to grow and get users on board.
๐งฉ We also delve into the challenges faced by new and experienced WordPress developers, the workshops offered to streamline the learning process, and the benefits of remote work at Automatic, including their unique sabbatical program. Adam shares his exploration of different roles within Automatic, including a foray into data science, and highlights the freedom and opportunities available to him within the company.
๐ก Adam's passion for solving large systemic problems shines through as he discusses his innovative projects, such as the HTML tag processor and the playground feature. These solutions have the potential to be game changers for the WordPress community, making it easier for new contributors to get started. We wrap up the episode with Adam's inspiring journey in creating a tutorial for Gutenberg and his prototype that allows WordPress to be run in a browser tab, simplifying the initial setup process.
