#42 - Building The World You Want To See, with Jeff Atwood

The Work Item - A Podcast About Unconventional Career Advice

Whether you are new in the tech industry or are a veteran developer, chances are that you’ve used a product that Jeff Atwood worked on. I’m talking about Stack Overflow and Discourse, of course. When it comes to building communities and fostering good conversations, Jeff took an unusual position - steer the conversation towards finding the best in people, argue ideas and not people, and ultimately, contribute to a world that’s just a bit better. How does it all work? Jeff elaborates in this episode.

You can find Jeff on the following sites:

  • 🐤 Twitter
  • 📝 Blog

As called-out on the show, you should check out Discourse, along with the Meta and Boing Boing communities.
