Have you always wanted to write your own page caching plugin for WordPress? Probably not. In any case, I’ll be doing exactly that, tomorrow at around 9 UTC during a live broadcast on Twitch and YouTube.

Goodbye Automattic

WordCamp Russia 2015 Recap
We did it. WordCamp Russia 2015 was held last weekend in the amazing Digital October Center in Moscow.
