Full Stack Journey 037: The Influence Of Open Source In A Tech Career With Matt Broberg

Today’s episode is the story of a career journey, and the influence of open source on that career.
Scott is joined by Matt Broberg (@mbbroberg on Twitter, GitHub, and just about everywhere else), currently a technical editor and open source advocate at opensource.com.
Scott and Matt hit on topics such as:

* The importance of doing something you love
* Why it’s necessary for technologists to understand business fundamentals
* The “pull” of open source on Matt’s career
* How to stay technical when you’re not in a technical role (TL;DR: your “hands on” time is under your control!)
* Sharing is caring–why sharing with others in our communities is so critical

Matt is an engaging guest, so listeners should be able to extract a few nuggets of wisdom from the conversation. Matt wanted to share a quote with listeners, but couldn’t find until after the show recording has concluded, so we included it here in the show notes!
“He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his [candle] at mine, receives light without darkening me.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
