In this Developer Nation broadcast episode, Ayan interviews Adrienne Tacke, a Senior Developer Advocate at Cisco, discussing her career journey and the field of developer advocacy. Adrienne shares her unexpected path into software development, starting with an internship during college. She emphasizes that a computer science degree isn’t necessary for a successful career in development; a passion for learning and an eagerness to explore new technologies can be equally valuable.

However, she also mentions the challenges faced by developer advocates, including multitasking, burnout risk, and maintaining high-quality content creation.
