10up Appearances, Fall 2021 Edition
Phil Crumm on
At 10up, we make a better web by finely crafting websites and tools for content creators. We also give back to our community of digital makers by encouraging team members to share their experience, insights, and lessons learned at industry events, and through engagement with online media. Here are some recent and upcoming highlights around the web:
Torque Social Hour
Our President & Founder Jake Goldman kicked things off as a special guest on The Torque Social Hour, a weekly livestream about WordPress news, events, and life. The show spends a lot of time on headless WordPress solutions like WP Engine’s Atlas product and Jake discusses some newer 10up plugins and our ongoing contributions to the open source community.
De{code} Podcast
On a similar note, catch me on the DE{CODE} Podcast discussing the business case for adopting headless architectures, when and how 10up encourages a client to go headless, and his wishlist for making WordPress more headless friendly. The episode drops on Monday, September 20.
