In this episode, Nicole explores the multitude of different ways you can leverage Twitter to build your developer network, resulting in connections, jobs, and—best of all—friends!
Twitter is Where Tech Happens™!
When you create a Twitter account as a developer, you’re effectively stepping into the tech community. You’ll expose yourself to all kinds of helpful content (like the content I write! ????) and valuable people posting it.
I want to help you understand the nuances of the platform, how it differs from other social media platforms, what to post, and a bunch of valuable advice. Not being on the platform will actually hurt your career opportunities, especially if you’re a new developer and/or career changer.
I hope this episode helps you connect with others, find great resources and events, and make some awesome friends! ????
Peace, love, and code,
