In my day-to-day work I often need to either convey or understand how something works. When that something is complex in nature domain-specific jargon and acronyms will fail horribly in explaining it. Living in an era where knowledge is power I’m amazed by how poor our tools to share that knowledge are.

Here I will present you a collection of metaphores that helped me and others understand, or explain, how complex stuff works in the context of WordPress and development. I will also share some “gotchas” about this tool as old as children stories.
