"Content isn't a lever that's going to help your career. The lever that will help your career is the thing you're excited about. And if that thing is... whatever is energizing you, that is where your focus should be."
Join our conversation with Theo Browne, popular TypeScript YouTuber and CEO of T3 Chat, developer and investor. As he said about himself, "Known primarily for memes, hot takes, and building useful things for devs such as UploadThing and the T3 Stack."
The co-hosts are Nick Nisi and Kevin Ball, JS Party podcast ex-co-hosts.
We’ll dive into Theo’s journey from early dev days to building the T3 Stack, his switch from Ruby and Python to TypeScript, thoughts on AI’s role in learning and tooling, and why conferences like React Summit US still matter.
