Building in-person developer communities with Paul Butler from Drifting In Space
About this episode
Paul Butler is the cofounder of Drifting in Space. They believe that browser-based applications can feel like magic if they’re built with the right tools. They make Jamsocket, a platform for building applications with session backends, and Plane, the open-source server that powers it.
What we cover:
- The power of in-person meetups
- How to communicate complex problems
- Deconstructing topics for developer content
- Writing about trends e.g. GPU rendered UIs
- Going after developers doing "something ambitious with browsers"
