In this episode of Observy McObservface, Kat Cosgrove, a developer advocate at JFrog, discusses her work on firmware updates for self-driving cars called Donkey Cars, the importance of well-documented documentation, and getting the community involved in open-source projects. She emphasizes that there are no stupid questions and encourages people to ask for help when needed. Kat shares her experience working on IoT projects and how she's seen a lack of documentation in tech communities. She advises developers to write good documentation by avoiding jargon and explaining complex concepts in simple terms, and to be open to feedback and criticism from others. The conversation also touches on the importance of community involvement, mentorship, and finding the right role models in the industry. Kat recommends submitting conference CFPs as a way for beginners to get started, even if they don't feel ready yet. She invites listeners to join her on Twitter @Dixie3Flatline and encourages them to reach out with questions or topics they'd like to discuss on future episodes of Observy McObservface.
