Episode notes

Mongo has a reputation for having a really strong engineering culture. One of the things that I thought was really cool was how they took their user stories and they voted on the time. And it was incredible how quickly they came to sizing their user stories. That was very impressive to me. Yeah. So at Grammarly, right? And you mentioned earlier that, you know, you spent a lot of time on docs and content when you first joined. You've put a lot of work into the strategy and sort of philosophy of DevRel at grammarly too.

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?
