In perhaps a very fitting way to wrap up the Career Pathways Series, we talk to Ian Douglas about Developer Advocacy, a role that really demonstrates how software development skills can be applied in a variety of meaningful ways. Ian dives into how different this role can look from company to company, the travel, the conferences, the content, the glamor. Are Developer Advocactes the influencers of software? You decide. If you or someone you know are code curious, we encourage you to attend a Turing Try Coding Event. You can register for a Try Coding class at turing.edu/try-coding.
