Episode notes

I work for the Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution segment of Disney. And that's primarily focused on, and that's what Disney Plus is part of Disney streaming. So you can think of like ABC News.com, National Geographic. Those are websites or products that are kind of immediate direct to the consumer versus something like a theater or theatrical where it has to go through a theater,. Like the content to the consumer.

In this supper club episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk with Vu Le about his path to working at Disney. How did he learn to code? How do you get a job at Disney? What’s the tech stack inside a Disney team?

Tuple - Sponsor

This week’s sponsor is Tuple, an app built specifically for remote pair programming. The app is written in C++ and tuned for high-resolution screen sharing and low-latency remote control. Because developers deserve better than Zoom or Meet for pairing.
