In this episode of the Dead Code Podcast, Jared Norman talks with Stefanni Brasil, a Senior Software Developer at thoughtbot and co-founder of hexdevs, about career growth, open source, and mentorship in tech. Stefanni shares her non-traditional path into software development and her passion for helping mid-level developers advance through her program "Get to Senior," which addresses both technical and non-technical skills. They discuss the challenges of career progression, the importance of understanding company promotion dynamics, and the need for developers to focus on leadership and communication skills. Stefanni also highlights the ethical concerns surrounding open-source contributions, advocating for companies to financially support the projects they benefit from. The conversation ends with a reflection on the role of AI, productivity, and the value of sharing knowledge publicly to strengthen the tech community.
