Summary

Teaching a developer to fish...kind of`, is about software engineers, Malika Nikhmonova and Kyle Woumn, who are trying to solve the problem that new developers face when getting started with coding, by providing them with a clear path to build an app and shipping it. They focus on tailoring user experience around a specific use case, such as appointment reminders, which helps users stay focused and reach their goal. To achieve this, they emphasize the importance of having a village of tutorials, testing, and data to build and ensure user success. Malika and Kyle will share what they've learned from improving the onboarding experience for SMS customers at SIGNAL, providing valuable insights for new developers looking to improve their coding skills.
