do what you love and it just works out w/ kevin blanco, sr. devrel
guest: kevin blanco, sr. developer relations advocate at appsmith
- build your career on community involvement, not just applying through hr or job boards
- show up and contribute to communities to help others first, not to immediately get a job out of it
- skip a formal degree in tech and instead spend that time and money building real projects and a portfolio
- invest in communication and soft skills since connecting with people can matter as much as technical ability in interviews
- keep applying to speak or contribute even after rejection, since consistency and showing up is what separates people over time
