Today we welcome Chuck Carpenter aka Charles The 3rd, co-host at Whiskey Web and Whatnot.
As two content creators in the tech scene, we discuss if and how celebrity developers and tech influencers are a good thing for the community, how we should be careful when choosing technologies based on influencers’ opinions, why so many people nowadays want to speedrun their whole career and how that could be self-sabotage, and a lot more!
