I brought on Surya, the technical founder of Argonaut. In his experience, he's seen that user-centered developers are not just a bonus, but a necessity to create a successful product, and we dove deep into this part of the conversation to show you exactly why that is. You'll hear about how high ownership within a team can lead to a profound understanding of the domain, resulting in a ripple effect of expansion and growth.
With his wealth of experience, Surya shared his most potent advice for new developers and provided a sneak peek into his hiring process. And for those job seekers, we discussed the importance of relevance and how contributing to open source could give you an edge. He shared a real-life success story of a hire made thanks to open-source contributions, highlighting the immense value of curiosity and problem-solving.
This episode is perfect for brand-new developers wanting to know what can make them stand out when trying to land their first job, especially at a startup.
