Episode notes

I feel like patents get a bad rap. The nice thing about them is they get you kind of out of what you're necessarily working on. And you get to think about bigger problems. So IBM, right? Touching all these different parts of the organization. That's pretty sweet.

In this episode of the State of Developer Education podcast, Jon speaks with Lauren Schaefer, Developer Advocate at Grammarly, the company delivering AI communication assistance to over 50,000 teams and 30 million people daily. Lauren is a software engineer, developer advocate, keynote speaker, and inventor who is at her best when she’s creating engaging and easy to understand content in a variety of mediums.

Together they discuss whether or not a degree in tech is really all that vital; how to let your skills guide your career; the importance of learning to work with all sorts of different people; and just how diverse a career in DevRel really is! They also delve into whether there is any tension between the marketing and engineering side of a DevRel team?
