We still need developer communities
About this episode
Ryan discusses the importance of developer communities with Mike Swift, focusing on Major League Hacking's initiatives and the impact of AI on software development.
Ryan welcomes Mike Swift, co-founder and CEO of Major League Hacking, to the show to chat about the never-ending need for software developer communities and entry points into programming; MLH’s recent acquisition of DEV and how they’re creating a place for shared knowledge, building, and publishing; and why now is the best time to be both an artisan and a builder in a world with AI software development tools. Episode notes: Major League Hacking is a 500k+ global member community that hosts hackathons and open-source fellowships for the next generation of developers. They recently acquired DEV , an online community for 3M+ developers to learn and share together. Connect with Mike on LinkedIn or email him at swift@mlh.i o .
