Developer advocate Michelle Sandford joins Isabel Ruiz on Don't Forget the Pizza. She talks about why she calls her blog "Scaling Guacamole," how a career that began in pubs and restaurants led to IBM and then Microsoft, and how a customer success background carries over into developer relations.In this episode:
- Why you don't need the title to do the job: figure out what you love and do it.
- How Michelle manages around 50 events a year, and why she takes holiday to attend conferences in places like Vietnam.
- Why AI is making many people feel anxious and isolated, and why a human-to-human check-in matters.
- Why early-career developers should use GitHub Copilot in ask mode to learn before moving to agentic coding.
- Why cutting developers to work "cheaper and faster" is a losing story, and why investing in your existing talent is the better one.
- A lightning round covering Slack vs. Discord, live vs. pre-recorded demos, stickers vs. T-shirts, pineapple on pizza, and one word for the Perth developer scene.
Michelle's advice: use AI as the best coach you've ever had, and look out for each other.
