TALK OVERVIEW
We all know that developers are not all the same and the various segments have different needs and motivations.
In this talk, Twitch's Katie Penn will share her “Top 10 List” for how to interact authentically with developer communities that foster inclusivity and transparency. This includes your loyal community and how to reward your champions, while introducing new opportunities for growth for developers who you may not have originally have considered. Eating your own dogfood, open sourcing your wins, and admitting your fails are just a few of the ways this can be done.
