Jay Miller, Staff Developer Advocate and founder of Black Python Devs, joins Stats On Stats for a candid conversation about his journey from curious kid to community catalyst. He shares how his grandfather inspired his love for technology, how military service shaped his approach to productivity, and why building sustainable, local tech communities matters more than chasing clout. From running Discord servers to supporting Python workshops across the globe, Jay breaks down what real DevRel looks like — and why visibility, access, and connection are everything.
