recruiter turned developer w/adam brown
guest: adam brown, software engineer at twitch, former recruiter
- focus on one technology first instead of jumping between languages so you actually build depth
- pick your first technology based on what naturally extends into high demand skills like react after javascript
- ask multiple recruiters for market insight since they talk to candidates, hiring managers and each other all day
- pairing a brand new hire with someone just a year into the role can speed up ramp up for both people
- frame questions you feel you should already know the answer to with self aware humor so you come across confident, not clueless
