George was, but not everyone was. I had done very little PHP before Automattic, though I've certainly learned a lot of PHP since joining. We're also hiring for a lot of other development positions:

Lotsa fun problems to solve and 25% of the Web runs WordPress. Big impact at a moderately sized company.
