The world is shortly going to need another 20 million developers, and with over 1,000 engineering leaders joining us for INTERACT on April 7th, there’s no better time to talk to two people who have captured the minds of millions of developers - and will be featured at INTERACT - Tiffany Janzen and Masha Zvereva.
In addition to their own tech careers, both women have become prominent voices in the dev community, Tiffany is most well-known for her Tiff in Tech YouTube channel, and Masha for her company Stereotype Breakers.
Tiff and Masha spend their time connecting, communicating, and inspiring the next generation of devs. They’re the ideal experts to dive deep into how Gen Z devs think and what they want.
That’s why we were so happy they took the time to sit down for an episode of Dev Interrupted to give us some incredible insights on what it’s going to take to recruit, hire and retain the millions of new developers who are joining the workforce.
