Fallthrough

Looking Forward While Remembering The Past


Listen Later

Today we're going to be talking about looking forward while not forgetting the past with Kelsey Hightower. We'll talk community, ML/AI, the future of conferences and DevRel and the role they play (or don't) in today's tech eco-system. We'll also hear about what Kelsey's been up to in retirement - spoiler alert, it's far more active than you may expect.

Thank you for being a supporter!

Thanks for tuning in and happy listening!
