Dwayne McDaniel will speak on “WP-CLI: Don’t Fear The Command Line” Saturday afternoon in the Talladega Room at 3:30 p.m. at WordCamp Los Angeles. No stranger to fear, probably due to the fact that his first car was a red ’88 Dodge Omni which may have contained the worst engine Dodge ever built, Dwayne is committed to helping you overcome your angst over the command line.

Dwayne said he “loves the command line because it saves me a lot of time and lets me do neat things like automate updates.” He wants to share this knowledge with the world. “If you are doing everything through the WP admin interface you are literally wasting time waiting for PHP to repaint an admin screen,” he explained. “Learning basic WP-CLI commands will make administering users, themes, plugins and well, everything, much quicker and let you streamline your processes.”

The fastest car he’s ever driven is a 1997 SVT Mustang Cobra. Dwayne described his dream car as one with two bubble domes; with one in the front, while the one in the back is for quarreling kids, and comes with optional restraints and muzzles. He’d like the engine sound to cause people to think “the world’s coming to an end” and determined it would need “three horns, because you can never find a horn when you’re mad. The three horns would not be angry sounding, but instead play the song “La Cucaracha.” His dream car would also feature gigantic cupholders, the already mentioned bubble domes, shag carpeting, and tailfins. He’d prefer it came with a metal bowler as a hood ornament.
