v0.0.2 - Christin Martin

I’ve been following Christin’s journey on LinkedIn for a while now and it’s been truly inspiring to watch and get to know her.

Not only has she been openly engaging on LinkedIn, she also accidentally started a community. Leaning into the unexpected can have the most wonderful results!

In this episode, we’ll talk about starting a project with AI, expanding into object oriented programming and TypeScript, and Christin’s job search which inspired the BuiltInPublic project to encourage others to build publicly. What started as a way to stand out in this tough market turned into an open-source project with a team of people behind it!

We also talked a little about Anna Miller and I had a recent LinkedIn Live with her, too!

Your call to action? → Learn, build, get dopamine, and repeat. 🔄

Book Riot

Christin would be an awesome addition if you’re looking for a new developer on the team! 😉
