Episode notes

I've always been on these weird teams that are very much like enterprise or like weird, maybe one day the Pinterest API will go back out and be in a hackathon. That was something I always wanted to do. One of the first projects I worked on on Pinterest was with the Met Museum and putting their entire public collection onto Pinterest. The most popular pieces were from the cloister.

In this episode of the State of Developer Education podcast, Jon speaks with Julie Hubschman, Senior Product Manager of Developer Experience at DriveWealth, the pioneer of fractional equities and embedded investing, a visionary technology company empowering more than 100 partners around the world to engage their customers. Prior to this, she was the Developer Relations Lead at Gusto, Partnerships Engineer at Pinterest, and a Software Engineer at Microsoft!

Join them as they discuss the potential ramifications and risks of building certain code; why developing skills in other areas of education can help you as a developer; and how hackathons can a useful way to build relationships with companies and other developers. They also discuss some of the issues with spamming and how to best overcome them.
