Join us for an insightful conversation with Ceora Ford about the intersection of security, development, and community building. We explore why managing identity security is more complex than simple authentication, examine the trade-offs of Next.js's App Router in enterprise applications, and uncover strategies for effective technical content creation. Ceora shares her experience transitioning from digital marketing to developer advocacy, offering practical advice for building a presence across platforms like TikTok, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
