Conference organizers use a combination of Discord and Twitch to make events more interactive. "I think it's such a cool, I don't know, it's a really cool way to share knowledge," says DevRel co-founder Chris Hoyle. In addition to accessibility you're talking about where it's like maybe you're physically in an area where conferences are going on but the ability or time or money to travel to it.
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?
